Tibetan Feng Shui

Tibetan Feng Shui: "
I just came across an interesting article on what the author, Martin A. Mills, calls 'royal Buddhist geomancy' in the December 2007 issue of JIATS, abstract here:

This is a must read. The academics have somehow managed to inject kinky sex (pinning the supine demoness... heaven knows my heart but she knew me better) and gender studies (she was pinned because monks hate women) into feng shui.

Is that anything like making a mountain out of a molehill?

Seriously though, questions about 'Tibetan Feng Shui' abound, and we have touched upon this here (and here, and here) on DTBA in the past. For the past several months, I have been working on a little book about the subject, and if interest warrants, we may yet publish a few excerpts.

Anyway, this seems like a good opportunity to also mention that the indispensable THDL site is being completely overhauled, and will become the THLIB site in future. I can't explain exactly why this is being done -- on the theory of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' -- but everyone seems to think it is a marvelous idea anyway.
