An organization formed by some of Hawayo Takata’s teacher students after her death in 1980. In 1982 they all came together, according to Carel Anne Farmer, and compared symbols and mantras (and attunements according to John Harvey Gray). They were surprised when they found that they differed. This group then standardized these elements of the system of Reiki.
Hawayo Takata’s granddaughter, Phyllis Lei Furumoto, was named as their grandmaster and lineage bearer — the first time that these words had ever been used by anyone in conjunction with the system of Reiki.
