76. Peonies in Full Bloom The following is a story which Tane Izutsu heard from her father. Umejiro Izutsu thought Oyasama must be bored since She was always sitting silently on the dais. He wanted to take Her sightseeing, and said to Her, "Surely, you must be bored." Then, Oyasama, holding out one sleeve, said to him:
Umejiro did so and he saw beautiful peonies in full bloom as far as his eyes could see. It was the season of peonies. He was filled with awe, realizing that Oyasama could see anything in any place at Her own will.

七六 牡丹の花盛り 井筒たねが父から聞いた話。井筒梅治郎は、教祖が、いつも台の上に、ジッとお坐りになっているので、御退屈ではあろうまいか、とお察し申し、どこかへ御案内しようと思って、「さぞ御退屈でございましょう。」 と、申し上げると、教祖は、
と、仰せになって、御自分の片袖を差し出された。それで、梅治郎がその袖に顔をつけると、見渡す限り一面の綺麗な牡丹の花盛りであった。ちょうど、それは牡丹の花の季節であったので、梅治郎は、教祖は、どこのことでも、自由自在にごらんになれるのだなあ、と思って、恐れ入った。 |
