On this sacred day, we gather in this Class (the 2nd cohort of my Feng Shui students) to honour and pay tribute to a remarkable soul—my father, the esteemed Grandmaster of Feng Shui. A visionary whose legacy transcends time and borders, he introduced the profound art of Traditional Feng Shui to the Western world over five decades ago.
My father came from humble beginnings, shaped by the ravages of World War II, where he lost his parents and brothers. He spent his life managing his uncle’s hardware and building materials business alongside his cousin. Yet, he was most renowned for his three great loves: Yet, he was most renowned for his three great loves: the complex and powerful world of martial arts, his quiet and humble dedication to helping many in both the physical and spiritual realms, and bringing the transformative practice of Traditional Chinese Feng Shui into the modern era.
His journey took him far and wide, that began from the bustling streets of London to the four corners of the earth. In these diverse places, he shared the transformative power of Feng Shui, leaving an indelible mark on countless lives. Among his students were seekers from the farthest reaches of the Earth—a Sakhalin fisherman, bankers, artists, surgeons, scientists, entrepreneurs, spiritual elders, and numerous corporations—all touched by his profound wisdom and guidance.
Ten years ago, at his wake, we were joined by a diverse multitude, many familiar and many unknown. Over a thousand signed the register, and just as many did not. When asked how they knew my father, the response was often a humble, “He helped me once.”
But beyond his role as a teacher and leader, my father embodied the very principles he espoused. He passed this passion to me, and I actively practice and live the teachings he so cherished. This day holds even greater significance, as it marks the tenth anniversary of a promise I made to him—to continue his legacy in both Feng Shui and Martial Arts Neigong. He is my father, my teacher, my mentor, and my inspiration: a wise and compassionate human being who never spoke a negative word about anyone, judged no one, and saw goodness in everyone. In honoring him, I strive to walk the path he illuminated, preserving and perpetuating the rich tradition he held so dear.
For his earthly spiritual deeds, wisdom elders have told me that he remains here on Earth as a Bodhisattva in spirit form to continue to guide those in need. He appears as a rainbow body whenever occurrences in my life are associated with him, reminding me that he is near. Often, I hear whispers in my mind—intuitive answers to questions related to his teachings in all three areas: spiritual, Feng Shui, and martial arts.
Ten years ago, we bid farewell to his earthly form, but today let us take solace in the knowledge that his spirit continues to touch and watch over those who have known him and those who have not. Many tell me they dream of him or feel his presence. His guidance endures, a beacon of light navigating us through the ever-changing currents of life. Dear father, your journey continues to touch and illuminate all our lives.

He came from a humble background, like so many of his time that came from the ravages of World War II, where he lost his parents and brothers. He spent all of his adult working life managing his uncle’s hardware building materials business with his cousin. But he had three loves that he was most well-known for, martial arts, spiritual duty (helping the spiritual world) and Feng Shui.
The following photographs show him in his three passions.
