109. Yoshi, Yoshi On one occasion, Yoshie Iburi (later Yoshie Nagao) asked Oyasama, "Why do we chant Yoshi, yoshi at the end of Choto hanashi and Yorozuyo?" Oyasama answered: "You chant Yoshi, yoshi to conclude Choto hanashi and Yorozuyo. And you must do so. There is nothing bad in saying so, because it means 'it's good, it's good.'"

一〇九　ようし、ようし ある時、飯降よしゑ（註、後の永尾よしゑ）が、「ちよとはなし、と、よろづよの終りに、何んで、ようし、ようしと言うのですか。」と、伺うと、教祖は、 　 「ちよとはなし、と、よろづよの仕舞に、ようし、ようしと言うが、これは、どうでも言わなならん。ようし、ようしに、悪い事はないやろ。」 と、お聞かせ下された。
