Abstract
This chapter contains excerpts from D. T. Suzuki's book Nihon teki reisei (Japanese Spirituality), published in 1944 under strict censorship and reprinted in 1946. Suzuki begins by discussing the awakening of Japanese spirituality and the popularization of Buddhism during the Kamakura period. He then addresses Shinto's political nature, arguing that it is neither a religious belief nor a manifestation of spirituality. According to Suzuki, Shinto lacks the depth of the stage of negation, as in the logic of affirmation-in-negation (soku-hi), which is stimulated by and manifests in Buddhist phenomena, particularly in the Pure Land and Zen schools. In addition, Suzuki compares Catholic and Buddhist traditions concerning muga (no-self) and obedience, along with their interpretations of these mental states. He also talks about the relation between teaching and self-awakening.
