My friend was going through a very intensive cancer treatment for 36 days.
He had to endure wearing a mask for 16 minutes with mixed feelings of claustrophobia, pain, fear, lonely, and all other feelings that you don't want to have.
He knew that he would not survive without going through this treatment.
At the same time, I was in Japan visiting the very sacred place, Sado Island and thinking of world peace and praying for all my family and friend's happiness.
Nothing made him feel free from those worst feelings that he ever had in his life not even his wonderful family faces nor his favorite food Eggplant Parmesan except for one thing...a vision of three people chanting, me, my soul mate and his best friend in front of a mandala 25 years ago.
He remembered the wall was shaking when they were chanting, my distinguished long hair and head moving once a while and our united tone and rhythm of chanting like a sound of a horse galloping.
As soon as the treatment started, this vision came to his mind.
Every single treatment, every single 16 minutes, every single unknown fear was calmed down by this vision and the sound in his memory.
After 36 days, he completed his treatment. He survived.
"What is a life worth for?" he said to me.
I said to myself, what can be more powerful than somebody's prayer almost quarter century ago that can save someone's life?
This is how our lives function, how we live and how The Universe works.
We are all living for each other.
Love,
