[.ca] The Mantra Book (ISBN 0007166435)

Read Thomas Ashley-Farrand Instead:
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.

Much merit compressed into such a small book ...:
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.
