Lillian Too is a practising Buddhist who "walks her talk." This isn't supposed to be about Sanskrit mantras; it's about Buddhist mantras (which happen to be written mostly in Sanskrit). I am a Shingon Buddhist and I purchased this book because I wanted more information about certain mantras without having to cruise all over the Internet. It's accurate, respectful, "meaty" and very well done. All profits from it are donated to Buddhist charities. I recommend it very highly to both Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.

In response to the cynic. I met Ms. Too in Bodhgaya India at a Tibetan Buddhist retreat. She is a lovely woman and does a tremendous amount of volunteer work and financially supports many Tibetan Buddhist projects.

She is a genuinely warm woman, expert in her field as well as a devote Buddhist. In this book she is combining two very meaningful parts of her life.

Good gief; she writes a million books on Feng Shui, and then switches to hindu mantras? Read Sanskrit mantra expert Thomas Ashley-Farrand's excellent books (Healing Mantras, Shakti Mantras and lots of Sounds True tapes) instead for the real thing.
