"Would you not like to become a holy nun, and to live in a very,
very small temple, with a very small altar, and little images of
the Buddhas? We should be always near you. If you wish this, we
shall get a priest to teach you the sutras."
O-Toyo wished it, and asked that an extremely small nun's dress
be got for her. But the mother said:--
"Everything except the dress a good nun may have made small. But
she must wear a large dress--that is the law of Buddha."
So she was persuaded to wear the same dress as other nuns.
