私は僧侶になり、大学で仏教を研究していました。そして、韓国仏教を学びに韓国のソウルに留学し、ソウルの教会で聖書を学んでいたとき、イエス様を信じ救われました。その経験から、仏教のことについても、お話したいと思います。 Matsuoka, Hirokazu was born in Tokyo as a son of a Buddhist priest, and began working as a Buddhist priest while at university. After graduation, he continued his Buddhist studies, abroad in South Korea. Invited by another Japanese student to attend a local church’s Christmas gathering, he felt he could try church once, since he was overseas, so he went. After becoming a Christian, he left the Buddhist priesthood and now serves as an evangelist and pastor of Nozomi Church in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture. He is the author of “Buddhist Priest Meets Jesus.”
