"For you to inquire about the Lotus Sutra and ask its meaning is a rare source of good fortune. In this age of the Latter Day of the Law, those who ask about the meaning of even one phrase or verse of the Lotus Sutra are far fewer than those who can hurl Mount Sumeru to another land like a stone, or those who can kick the major world system away like a ball. ..."

"The Lotus Sutra passage states: 'This cluster of unsurpassed jewels / has come to us unsought' (LSOC4, 124). 'Unsought' reflects the fact that the persons of the two vehicles-the voice-hearers and cause-awakened ones—had given up on attaining Buddhahood and no longer even sought to do so.

"'Has come to us' means that these supreme treasures are not something distant or separate from our lives, but are found within us. They are there for us to discover and make shine. We need to awaken to and bring forth the supreme treasure of our inherent Buddhahood and establish our true selves.

"The Gohonzon, which is a 'cluster of unsurpassed jewels,' makes it possible for all people to attain the supreme treasure of Buddhahood."

"...the young Daisaku Ikeda asked Josei Toda what young people need to do to become genuinely capable individuals. President Toda replied that three key qualities are needed: 'an awareness of mission,' 'a spirit to improve' and 'patience.'

"Without an awareness of our mission, we cannot bring forth from within the power of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth. However, this alone is not enough. If we possess a spirit of continuous self-improvement and the perseverance to patiently challenge ourselves, we can bring our potential into full bloom. These are essential guidelines for our youthful successors to etch in their hearts."

"The 'cluster of unsurpassed jewels' represents all the benefits acquired through the good deeds and practices carried out by the Buddhas of the three existences in their efforts to attain enlightenment. The Daishonin tells us that all those immense benefits are inherent in Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.

"'And without labour or trouble, without religious practices or good deeds, this cluster of unsurpassed jewels can come into our possession through the single word 'faith' [i.e., faith in Nam-myoho-renge-kyo]' (OTT, 59), states the Daishonin, underscoring how great and wonderful is our practice of chanting the single phrase Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. It is extremely difficult, and at the same time astounding, to realise that the fruit of Buddhahood—a 'cluster of unsurpassed jewels'—that so many seekers of the way had sought to gain through arduous practice over long eons in the pre Lotus Sutra teachings—are all contained in the single phrase Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.

"Just believing this requires an unceasing battle against fundamental ignorance. When we continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what our hardships and sufferings, we will come to enjoy boundless good fortune, as if accumulating all the treasures of the universe in our lives."

"Faith as taught in Nichiren Buddhism values our ability to reason and is deepened by our intellect and knowledge. The Daishonin sums up the relationship between faith and understanding in The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings: 'Where there is belief or faith, there is understanding, and where there is understanding, there will be faith. However, it is faith that makes it absolutely certain that one will attain Buddhahood' (OTT, 144)."

THE BUDDHISM OF THE SUN-ILLUMINATING THE WORLD, Key Passages from The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings [5] "Simile and Parable" and "Belief and Understanding" Chapters, Belief and Understanding Deepen each Other, March 2023 issue of Daibyakurenge, translation released February 2024
