In Tenrikyo, the Joyous Life (yōki yusan 陽気遊山 or yōki gurashi 陽気暮) is the ideal taught by spiritual leaders and pursued through charity and abstention from greed, selfishness, hatred, anger and arrogance. Theologically, the Joyous Life functions as the purpose of human existence preordained by God during the creation of human beings and as the means for the salvation of humankind.
