Program: 00:00 Guided Meditation by Sandra Henville (BSWA) 24:24 Dhamma Talk by Dr Lydia See (Tzu Chi Foundation) Dharma Master Cheng Yen established the Tzu Chi Foundation in 1966 in Taiwan. The mission started with Charity, Medical Services, Education and Humanistic Values, and then extended further to Bone Marrow Donation, Environment Protection, Community Volunteerism and International Relief – Known as Tzu Chi's Eight Footprints. Tzu Chi's Australian footprints first appeared in Brisbane and Sydney in the early 1990s when members migrated to Australia from Taiwan. The Australian chapter of Tzu Chi Foundation was officially incorporated in 1996 and became a national body in 1999. Since then Tzu Chi Foundation has grown to encompass offices in Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Perth, with over 10,000 supporters Australia-wide. Volunteers offer their free time to serve the local communities. Their regular presence can be found in hospitals, nursing homes, hospice wards, school for deaf and blind children, and homeless centres. Every year, the monastic community (Monks and nuns) go on a three month retreat called the “Rains Retreat” from mid July to mid October. During this period, they do not visit our centres for teachings as it's a time for deepening their own practice. While the monks and nuns are away, we will have some interesting guest speakers coming in to give the Friday Night talk. HEAVENLY MESSENGERS 2024 (Rains Retreat Speakers' Series 2024) Out of respect for our teacher, the teachings, and the precious opportunity we have to receive them from afar, please attend the online teachings in the same way that you would if you were at the teachings in person.

It's been a decade since Thom Filicia, acclaimed interior designer and former co-star of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” served as a bone marrow donor for his brother, Jules, who had received a diagnosis of myelofibrosis. “It was a disease I knew nothing about, I'd never even heard of it before,” Filicia told CURE®. “So that, in and of itself, was a very unusual situation, to have to navigate that. … In (Jules') situation, we needed to move very quickly. And, in his case, the most appropriate (treatment) at that time, was a bone marrow transplant, so that's what we needed to do.” Myelofibrosis, as explained by the MPN Research Foundation, is a type of chronic blood cancer that involves the formation of excessive scar tissue in the bone marrow, impairing the patient's ability to produce normal blood cells. It is part of a category of blood cancers known as myeloproliferative neoplasms, or MPNs. “Myelofibrosis is a challenge, because first of all, it's (a) very rare disease, we're talking about 25,000 people in the United States have this, maybe one in 500,000 people worldwide have this disease, so it's a very rare disease,” explained Dr. Andrew Kuykendall of the department of malignant hematology at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.  The presentation of myelofibrosis can also vary from patient to patient, as Kuykendall explained. “People can either present with just abnormal blood counts, they can present with painful abdominal pain or splenomegaly, where their spleen is enlarged or other organs can be enlarged, (or) it could be from having fevers, chills, night sweats, bone pain, a lot of symptoms that bring them to that healthcare,” Kuykendall said. “And so, it's one of those things where all those people could come with a variety of symptoms yet receive the same diagnosis. And I think that that's challenging because it doesn't necessarily present in one way. There's no kind of map. We often say, ‘The disease doesn't read the textbook,' and that's very true when it comes to myelofibrosis.” A decade after the bone marrow transplant, Filicia says his brother is in great health, and he looked back on the transplant process as a “pretty seamless” experience. “It was a good experience for both of us and a positive outcome, which is really great,” Filicia said. “I would say what it does in terms of (our relationship), we're blood brothers at a level that is very different than just being brothers because we now share the same DNA. And we've gone through this experience together, and it was a pretty impactful experience.” Filicia has now partnered with biopharma company GSK to launch the online initiative Mapping Myelofibrosis, dedicated to raising awareness about the disease with input from organizations including the MPN Research Foundation and MPN Advocacy and Education International.  The initiative's website, mappingmf.com, includes educational and informational materials as well as podcast episodes and stories from members of the myelofibrosis community of patients and loved ones, Filicia among them. “To be a resource or to be impactful in that situation, you really need information, and you need to know that you're not the only person going through it, you need to understand what other people are going through, you need to be able to connect with a doctor like Dr. Kuykendall where they can explain things to you in a way that you understand it,” Filicia said.  “And that gives you hope, and that gives you the ability to, I would imagine, move forward in a positive, thoughtful, empowered way where you feel like you're making the best decisions that you can make, for your situation, with the best guidance that you feel comfortable with.” Filicia and Kuykendall spoke with CURE®'s “Cancer Horizons” podcast about myelofibrosis, persistent misconceptions regarding bone marrow donation and the motivation behind the Mapping Myelofibrosis.

There are many misconceptions around bone marrow donation such as it being excruciatingly painful and causing infertility. These myths make individuals not want to go through with this process, another factor being that one must invest time to do it. There being a low number of donors makes, especially among Singaporean Indians and Malays, the chance of finding a compatible bone marrow donor very low. Raising awareness of this issue and encouraging the public to participate in donations is hence crucial. We speak to  Charles Loh, CEO, Bone Marrow Donor Programme more about this.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Emily Lola Tan has Leukemia. She shares her story whilst also raising awareness of the importance of bone marrow donations for Leukemia suffers- especially Asian people as they don’t seem to register as bone marrow donors as much as people in other countries. Finding a bone marrow match will significantly increase Emily’s chances of survival and she is on a mission to raise awareness for all Leukemia patients. We discuss why it is better for her to stay in Hong Kong to find a bone marrow match and we explore the lack of public awareness surrounding blood cancers as opposed to other more publicised cancers. Emily explains how she first discovered that she has Leukemia when she was travelling in Europe and how the diagnosis has changed her outlook on life. She shares her deepest secrets from her past where, as a teen, she was raped by her boyfriend and later, unable to cope with the shame and the guilt, attempted suicide. This is a heart wrenching disclosure that will impact all who listen. Emily goes on to explain how these dark times helped her to become the resilient fighter that she is today as she faces the greatest battle of her life with courage, resilience and determination. At times, Emily loses hope but for the most part she is hopeful, positive and good humoured throughout this life changing journey. She explains how it takes strength to expose her vulnerabilities and how she has developed some psychological hardiness along the way. She wants to educate young people about healthy relationships and consent as well as exploring notions of masculinity. However, her main goal is to raise awareness of blood cancer and bone marrow donations. She wants to make a positive impact on the world and she already is doing just that.
