. Lillian Too is a longtime Buddhist practitioner and the top Feng Shui author in the world.
. There are very few good general introductions to the use of mantras on the market. This book is practical, accessible and easy to follow and will appeal to both beginners and experienced meditators alike.

Lillian Too has been practising feng shui for about 30 years and has shared the secrets of this ancient tradition with the world. Her 48 books have sold in excess of 6 million copies making bestseller lists around the globe. Her books have also been translated into 24 languages. At the height of her banking career she was the Managing Director of one of Hong Kong’s largest banks.

Feng Shui is a direct link to Lillian’s Chinese roots and blends the traditions of geomancy, Chinese folklore, numerology and astrology together. Architects in the East, use feng shui to design auspicious buildings for good business. Lillian was first introduced to feng shui when she was trying for a baby. She moved into a new house that she and her husband were having built according to feng shui principles. And after trying for a baby for 9 years, within just 4 months of moving into their new home, Lillian was pregnant. She was amazed by her first success with using feng shui and later applied feng shui techniques to her career, which brought her great success.

Lillian needed to share the gift of the ancient knowledge of feng shui with others and started writing books and became the leading writer on feng shui. Her work with feng shui brought her to work with a famous Buddhist Lama in India who wanted her to help him construct temples and a large statue of Maitreya – the future Buddha – according to feng shui principles.

Now her attention is focused on spiritual development. She is working with Lama Zopa Rinpoche in India and has turned towards Buddhist teachings. Again, Lillian intends to share the beauty of the Buddhist path with the world.

A significant departure from the books on feng shui, Mantras and Mudras is a beautiful guide to chanting and meditation influenced by the Buddhist path. Mantras are inspiring words, essentially spiritual affirmations which give focus to meditative practice, while mudras are hand postures.

In her life, Lillian blends the practices of feng shui and Buddhism. Both practices help us to live in harmony with the earth and can create both material and spiritual abundance.
