Description

Manshi-Kiyozawa （1863-1903） was a Japanese religious leader and philosopher. He sought to save those who were suffering in life. As a result, it encouraged people to accept the status quo. This is because it is not the status quo that provides suffering, but rather one`s own suffering in the face of the status quo, and if the suffering is selfproduced, it can be eliminated by oneself and there is no need to communicate with the status quo. For this reason, his proposal was criticized as a noncommunication principle that does not seek to improve the status quo. However, did Kiyozawa really consider that the status quo must be maintained and “Spiritualism” should not communicate with the status quo? This paper examines his essay and clarifies that “Spiritualism” has a communication with the status quo, he wants the status quo to be the way people can enjoy it.
