If all life embodies the Mystic Law, then we should be able to learn this Law from people around us. 

I was outside with the smokers after an SGI cultural event in Omaha. (I quit years ago, but still enjoy chatting with the smokers.) After they went back inside, I was left with a fellow non-smoker. He told me that he was a friend of the SGI. 

As we walked to his car, he explained that his lover had been an SGI member who died of cancer. She tried to get him to chant but he was unable to say the words properly. 

They had lived in Los Angeles, but before she died she insisted that they return to his family and relatives in Omaha. Even though she was dying of cancer, her concern was for him. She wanted to prepare him for a life without her. 

After he was situated, she refused any more chemotherapy. 

He held her hand as she lay dying and tried to chant with her, but he still could not pronounce the words properly. 

As soon as the life left her body, he was suddenly able to say Nam Myoho-renge-kyo correctly. 

He finished telling me his story as we got to his car. 

He was giving three beautiful SGI women a ride home. 

After he left, I thought about the great love that his lover must have had for him. Even though she was dying, she was giving him everything she could to help him live without her. I saw her Daimoku continue to move things, assisting his development. 

The next day I ran into him again and he told me the word he had trouble with. It was "Myoho." 

He pronounced it perfectly.
