Reiki love symbol

[Lightwanderer]

I found this symbol on a web page. Never seen it before.



Does anybody recognize it or know anything about it?

Here is the webpage: www.wiccanwitchcraftblog.com/2008/09/importance-of-anointing-your-candles.html

Hello,
Just to add my two cents, the symbol posted looks like what I was taught to be emotional balance/harmony symbol (Karuna Reiki)

http://www.reiki.info./World/English/Reiki-Symbols/Sei-Heki-Reiki-Symbol.htm

Languages vary and distinct variables occur over time with cultural
differences even for pictographic languagues/energy symbols.

Hope this makes sense.

ah... yes, the Kiliku seems to be the sign they are using as love sign.


Thanks!

I really need to look more into the Karuna teachings.

This symbol is indeed "kiliku"


"Kiliku" is the Japanese name for the Sanscrit siddham-script character "Hrih"

"kiliku" (more commonly written as "kiriku" in romaji ) is actually pronounced somewhere between: k'rik and k'lik.



Hrih / Kiriku is the sacred sign or emblem of both Senju Kanzeon Bosatsu (a thousand-armed form of the Bodhisatva Kanzeon or 'Kannon') and Amida Butsu - the Buddha Amida - (or Amida Nyorai as he is called in Mikkyo Buddhist traditions), and is regarded as itself possessing the divine grace of both of these Buddhist Deities.

It is said that Senju Kanzeon Bosatsu watches over those suffering from a distressed Heart-Mind and lends his hand at the time of their troubles...

Amida - Buddha of Infinite Light & Life - is widely worshipped in various schools of Japanese Buddhism, including Tendai. He is the main deity in Jodo (Pure Land) Buddhism; and also in Jodo Shin (True Pure Land) Buddhism which holds that Spiritual Peace of Mind and salvation are to be achieved by relying on his power.

Kiriku is essentially perceived as a single-character depiction of the nembutsu: the sacred mantra of Amida: "Namu Amida Butsu", and as such invokes the merit associated with the fukushu or recital/repitition of that mantra, thus bringing Spiritual Peace of Mind ('Spiritual Composure') to the individual reciting the mantra, or to any other being to whom the reciter chooses to 'transfer' this merit.

This might be used in Karuna Reiki, but it doesn't belong to Karuna Reiki or any other Reiki for that matter. It's an ancient Sanskrit symbol for Ju-Ichimen-Senju-Sengan Kannon, aka the Goddess of Love & Compassion. This symbol has been used in Buddhist Temples for centuries to represent Her.
