Let's cherish the

and extend with our sincere efforts,
and strive to strengthen, even more,

"The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings states that this 'cluster of unsurpassed jewels' is Nam-myoho-renge-kyo which contains the benefits of all the Buddhas of the ten directions and three existences. This is because the Mystic Law stands at the pinnacle of all unsurpassed things (cf. OTT, 59).
"The 'cluster of unsurpassed jewels' also refers to the life state of Buddhahood and our own lives, which possess that potential. All of us, therefore, equally possess the supreme and unsurpassed jewel that is the Buddha nature."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [68] Be Victors in the Journey of Life and Kosen-rufu, Boundless and Immeasurable Benefit, December 2020 Daibyaku Renge Monthly Study Journal, translation released October 2021.
