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.”
