78. A Rich Man's Residence This is a story that Oyasama told Kiku Masui: "Those who live in this Residence—if they want to eat good food, wear good clothes, and live in good houses, then they will not be able to stay in this Residence. If only they do not think of eating good food, wearing good clothes, or living in good houses, will every daily need be met in this Residence. This is the real 'rich man's residence' in the world."

七八　長者屋敷 　 教祖が、桝井キクにお聞かせ下されたお話に、 　 「お屋敷に居る者は、よいもの食べたい、よいもの着たい、よい家に住みたい、と思うたら、居られん屋敷やで。 よいもの食べたい、よいもの着たい、よい家に住みたい、とさえ思わなかったら、何不自由ない屋敷やで。これが、世界の長者屋敷やで。」 と。
