Who is Master Raymond Lo (卢恒立)?

身为风水大师的卢恒立却没有风水堪与的家学渊源,而是出身于文学艺术气氛浓厚的书香门第,父亲是香港的电影导演。由于那时候的电影导演收入菲薄,前景黯淡,他父亲也不强迫他子承父业,而是给了他对未来职业自由选择的天地。卢恒立从小好奇心很强,喜欢研究和探讨奇奇怪怪的东西,并且博览群书,追根究底地去找答案,由此养成了善于学习和独立思考的习惯。他生长在香港,自幼勤奋好学,因此英文很好。他与风水学结缘就是从研读英文的星象学开始的,然后触类旁通,涉猎中国的风水文化知识,决心探究风水学这个谜团的深浅与真假,以及探究风水盛行的原因何在。但是卢恒立在大学学的却是与风水无关的经济专业,毕业后供职于香港电力公司长达十年之久。此间他只是业余开展风水业务。

1997年之后,由于他在风水界名气越来越大,看风水的业务越来越多,他才辞去公职,成为一名全职风水师。在香港,与其他风水师相比,他的优势是显而易见的: 他精通英文,上过大学,学过经济,做过经理,不仅熟悉西方的星象学,而且了解西方哲学和文化。

在香港,他第一个把风水理论翻译成英文进行讲解,他在大学里获取的科学的学习和研究方法以及做经理获取的管理和处世经验对他开展风水业务很有帮助,他明白怎样运用有效的市场营销方式进行风水业务的开拓和推广,深奥的风水理论怎样表达和解释才能使具有不同文化背景的外国人容易接受。他注重和采用西方人所习惯的逻辑推理的方法,而不是中国人所习惯的死记硬背的方法去讲授风水,他还采用西方的理论、概念和术语来对风水进行解释,收到了很好的效果。

Master Lo was born to a couple who moved from Guandong to Hong Kong and was the only son in a family of four. Subsequently he was educated in an English school in Hong Kong, choosing a social science degree specialising in economics while at university.

Initially, Master Lo’s interest in Feng Shui was borne out of a curiosity for anything connected with Chinese metaphysics some 20 plus years ago. He has since spent much of his time studying the Classics as well as private tuition with the ‘old masters’ of Hong Kong. However, things changed when he met Master Suen, an expert from mainland China who had a good understanding of metaphysics and theory. Master Suen emphasized the importance of logic and guided Master Lo to apply this logic to his practice of Feng Shui.

His research and personal perseverance in Feng Shui has earned him his reputation as a Feng Shui master who predicts accurately. His professionalism and expertise has led to his increasing popularity and has put him on a global lecture circuit to countries like Germany, Switzerland, London, America and Australia where he also conducts courses.
