I entered the Buddhist priesthood when I was 21. At that time, I just started my own business and was too busy to sleep. I suffered from asthma from my childhood and was troubled by it because overwork. Medical treatment did not cure it. One day, I had a chance to stop at Tarumi shrine in Suita, Osaka . I remembered my grandmother used to take me to a shrine and prayed to cure my illness. I placed my hands together like my grandmother didand looked at “Fudo Myouo” while praying. The Mantra “Naumaku, Samanda, Bazaradan, Kan” was written on the statue. I didn’t know what it meant but thought that those words were greatful. I read it aloud. I felt mercy of “Fudo Myouo” while reading it aloud. I was into praying for “Fudo Myouo” while spelling mantra over and over. Asthe timepassed, the whole body resonated in something and began trembling. My body responded to the spiritual power of “Fudo Myouo”, and I also had spiritual power and felt mysterious feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.
Although I was puzzled by my first feeling, I felt a sense of “impermanence” in my head. As I was suffering from starting my own business, I felt very refreshed. On my way home after a mysterious experience, I realized that the cough I was suffering from was stopped. I thought that this happened by “Fudo Myouo” and thenI turned around and put my hand together towardFudo Myouo with my gratitude. This experience prompted me to enter the Buddhist priesthood. After that, I learned “Shingon Mikkyou” of Kukai and practiced asceticism although I was busy with my own business. And I was convinced that the mission given to me was to spread “Shingon Mikkyou” to the world. In 1985, My efforts were recognized and then I was invited to Koya-san Kongoubuji and met the 408th head priest and the great priest Suho Takeuchi who is the “Zasu” of Kongoubuji Sohonzan. And great priestSuho said “You should learn Shingon Mikyou in your own way and spread it to the young generation.” to me and gave me the priest name “Genshin” when I was 28.
After that, I was inaugurated as a board member of “Senkouji Souhonzan”. This templewas affected by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in January 17th 1995. And then in 1997, this temple was reconstructed at Mt.Seppiko in Hyogo prefecture.
After I was inaugurated as the head priest of Senkouji Sohonzan, I have been acting as the Secretary-General of the construction promotion committee for “A bell to pray for world peace” to pray for peaceful relationship betweenJapan and Korean Peninsula.
And also, I have been deepening engagement with priests who are from China, Tibet, Thailand and so forth. “Shingon Mikkyou” was great successful in Japan because of Kukai. ButI considerthe mind of salvation is not only for Japanese but also all mankind.
I have one issue and that is to spread the teachings of Kukai to the people all over the world.
I established “Senshin Fudouson Shirahama Senkouji” what is a branch temple of the world famous “Senkouji Souhonzan” in October 2017 by the divine guidance ofKukai.
There are the twelve statues of Fudou Myouou and Kannon Bosatus that are enshrined in this temple. Also, Imoved the statue of Kukai that was found miraculously in the affected “Senkouji Souhonzan” to this branch temple “Snkouji” and made this “the temple of Kukai”.
I will continue making this temple a strategic position and a temple for promotions to spread “Shingon Mikkyu” to young people and visitors. Christianity has been spreading all over the world because the way of promotions was excellent. Japan Buddhism has to be promoted in the creativity and originality way.
This photo book has been published as one of theways of promotion. I did not make this look like the book what was published by a temple and translated most of the Japanese sentences in this book to English and Chinese because I wantedpeople to know Kukai and Nannki Shirahama. Judging from the impression of temples, I think that some people feel something wrong with this way of promotionandpublication. These actions might be against common sense, but Buddhism has to spread the teachings for the future. I will hold “Gomagyou” that is Kajikitou of “Shingon Mikkyou” of Kukai and try the many ways of promotions while praying for the happiness of people all over the world.

被空海所引导
〜沿着僧侣和企业家两条路走〜
真言密教 宗教法人 千光寺总本山
管长（代表役员）玄津（Ueno Genshin）
我进入佛门是21岁的时候。
那时我刚刚成立公司，每天废寝忘食的拼命工作。
长时间堆积的疲劳导致我的哮喘病即使是去医院都难以治愈，这使我感到非常苦恼。
从很小就开始苦恼于哮喘的我，和祖母一起参拜了在大阪吹田的垂水神社。
学着祖母的样子双手合十，一边祈祷一边注视着在不远处的不动明王。
在那里写着“naumaku、samanda、bazaradan、kan”等真言，虽然不能理解其中含义，但依旧怀着一颗感恩的心发声念诵了出来。
念诵经文的时候，似乎感受到了不动明王的慈悲心，于是不由自主的沉浸其中，反复念诵着真言并向不动明王祈祷。
经过岁月的洗礼，像往常一样念诵真言时所产生的共鸣感使我的全身感到颤抖。
不动明王的灵力在我的身上产生了反应，同时也觉得自己也被赐予了灵力，感到有种不可思议的力量从心底喷涌而出。
初次有这样的感觉让我有些不知所措，因创业而苦恼的我在人生中第一次体会到了【无】的境界，让我神清气爽。
在体验了神奇感觉后的归途中，我发现刚刚还感到很痛苦的咳嗽居然停了下来。
顿时觉得这或许是拜不动王神所赐，于是我双手合十感谢不动王神的恩惠。
同时这也成为了我迈入佛门的契机。
从那以后，我在繁忙的工作之余也会去学习空海的“真言密教”，坚持持续不断的修行。
后来我确信我的使命就是将“真言密教”传播至世界各地。
为了让大家认可我的修行状态，在1985年我被邀请到高野山金刚峰寺，有幸参见了该寺408任管长和金刚峰总本山座主竹内宗峰大僧正。
在此次会面中竹内崇峰授予我一句珍贵的话，“请用你自己的方式去学习真言密教，并且把这些教诲传播给更多的年轻人。”并在我28岁时授予我僧名————“玄津”。
之后我在元禄10年（公历1697年）建造的“千光寺总本山”就任董事职位。
这座千光寺总本山在平成7年（公历1995年）1月17日遭遇阪神大地震成为受灾寺院，平成9年（公历1997年）在兵库县雪彦山才得以复兴。
之后我成为千光寺总本山的管长，通过为朝鲜半岛的和平祈愿而建立的【世界人民和平愿望钟】活动，或与中国、中国西藏地区，以及泰国的僧侣，用玄津的方式来加深交流。
真言密教通过空海在日本的传播工作取得了非常大的成功。
但真言密教中的救助之心不仅仅是对于日本人而言，也应该含有拯救全人类的意义。
我承担着这样一个任务，那就是向所有国家的人民传播空海的教诲。
得到不动明王的指引，于平成29年（公历2017年）10月在国际上也甚是有名的千光寺总本山的分寺创建了“洗心不動尊白浜千光寺”。
在这里安放着不动明王和12尊观音菩萨。
并且把遭受震灾的千光寺总本山本堂中奇迹般救出的空海像移到这里，得以建成“空海的寺庙”。
今后我希望这个寺院能成为向游客和年轻人推广真言密教的代表寺，作为向所有人传播真言密教教诲的重要场所而活跃下去。
基督教的影响范围之所以扩大到了全世界范围，我认为是由于宣传的方式做的非常好。因此日本佛教也应该采用更加有创意的推广活动。
这本写真集是作为其中一种推广方式而发行的。
无论是不同于寺院发行的书籍，还是中英文译本，都是为了让跟多的人知道和了解南纪白滨和空海。
与以往对寺庙的印象不同，想必对于这种宣传活动或者发行的刊物产生不适感的人一定会存在。
虽然非同于以往的寺院活动，但我会继续致力于推广佛教面对未来所带来的教诲。
我的新想法是，通过空海的真言密教加持祈祷“护摩行”，来为人们的幸福而祈祷的同时继续尝试各种宣传活动。
