In the first monologue for a while we pick up the trail of Shamanic Reiki with an examination of Usui's familiy buddhism, Tendai. Tendai also influenced other strands of energy arts in Japan, as well as Japanese culture more broadly, so this episode sets the scene for the more technique-based monologues to follow in this series. The early origins of the Tendai tradition in India and China are also explored.
