cause and effect – Hālau 'Aha Hui Lānākila

The Unlikely Pair

His world is woven with the threads of cause and effect; she makes her choices with no need for reason.

He questions every premise; she accepts with complete certitude.

His world revolves around his own good; hers around that which has greater gravitational pull.

Yet, without one another, neither is complete, neither can find it’s own essence or know its own truth.

Superficially, they seem impossibly incompatible.

At their core, intellect and faith are the perfect marriage.

“To attain enlightenment you have to see your nature. unless you see your nature, all this talk about cause and effect is nonsense. Buddhas don’t practice nonsense. A Buddha is free of karma, free of cause and effect. to say he attains anything at all is to slander a Buddha. What could he possibly attain? Even focusing on a mind, a power, an understanding or a view is impossible for a Buddha. A Buddha isn’t one-sided. The nature of his No-Mind is basically empty, neither pure nor impure. He’s free of practice and realization. He’s free of cause and effect. A Buddha doesn’t observe precepts. A Buddha doesn’t do good or evil. A Buddha isn’t energetic or lazy. A Buddha is someone who does nothing, someone who can’t even focus his mind on a Buddha.”

USUI SYSTEM OF NATURAL HEALING (REIKI) Click on the Reiki tab and go to our Enrollment page link for information about our Reiki training program and to sign up. The Halau propagates traditional Japanese Usui Teate Reiki in addition to American Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki knowledge and training. Most Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki schools allow Level 3 Reiki Masters to attune new students. Unlike these schools, The Halau allows only our Usui Teate Grandmasters to propagate basic Reiki technique to beginners. Grandmasters are the only instructors with enough training and knowledge to attune new students. They are trained to perform both live (in-person) as well as astral (long-distance) attunements. We do not simply gather students as income: our training is for serious Reiki inquiries only.
