30. Ten Thousandfold Once Oyasama took a grain of unhulled rice in Her hand, and showed it to Izo Iburi, saying: "The same is true with a human being. You sow a grain of sincerity, and it multiplies to two or three hundred grains in a year, ten thousand in the second year. Ten thousandfold, as we call it. It will be enough for sowing all over the province of Yamato in the third year."

三〇　一粒万倍 　 教祖は、ある時一粒の籾種を持って、飯降伊蔵に向かい、 　 「人間は、これやで。一粒の真実の種を蒔いたら、一年経てば二百粒から三百粒になる。二年目には、何万という数になる。これを、一粒万倍と言うのやで。三年目には、大和一国に蒔く程になるで。」 と、仰せられた。
