This article uncovers Yagi’s framework to resist ultranationalist populism through cross-religious cooperation, highlighting the need for compassionate dialogue.
This article explores Seiichi Yagi’s threefold framework—Front Structure, Field of Integration, and Field of Creative Emptiness—as a foundation for Buddhist-Christian dialogue and resistance to ultranationalist populism. Yagi’s concept of “creative emptiness,” integrating Buddhist śūnyatā and Christian kenosis, provides a metaphysical and practical vision for relational healing and transnational cooperation. The paper applies Yagi’s thought to contemporary crises of ultranationalism and calls for a multidimensional dialogue—of head, heart, and hands—rooted in double belonging and embodied compassion.
