Since 1994, she and her Tibetan Australian ‘cultural translator’ colleague, Sonam Rigzen have toured groups of refugee Tibetan Buddhist monks from India, throughout Australia. Through their tours Maureen, Sonam and the Gyuto Monks have raised money from Australians sufficient of build a monastic university housing 550 monks and keep it going. It is a remarkable achievement, largely attributable the dogged hard work and shoestring organization by Maureen and her capable sidekick Sonam Rigzen Attending to monks’ health problems while in Australia, over several years, Maureen discovered that a large number of them were suffering from stomach pain and were , after years of going to GPs, finally diagnosed with the stomach bug, Helicobacter Pylori. The discovery and cure for Helicobacter Pylori won Perth Drs Robin Warren and Barry Marshall a Nobel Prize for medicine in 2005. After identifying the new bug, they discovered that a simple course of antibiotics could prevent ulcers and preempt stomach cancer, save lives and relieve years of suffering. |
