Ven. Jampa Ludrup started his working career as a science teacher and in 1979 moved into the information technology industry. He spent fifteen years in computer education and writing before undertaking a complete change of lifestyle when he became a Buddhist monk in the Tibetan tradition.

In 1996 Ven. Jampa was an attendant to Ven. Lama Zopa Rinpoche during his tour of Nepal, India, Singapore, and Malaysia. At this time Lama Zopa made his first contact with feng shui Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai and world-renowned expert and prolific author Lillian Too. With Lama Zopa’s encouragement, Ven. Jampa made a study of their system of feng shui, and after personal experiment he started to give advice and consultations.

Since 1998 he has been resident at Sera Je Monastic University in South India. Since 2003 he has been much in demand, and has given feng shui courses and consultancy to many businesses, institutions, and individuals all across the globe.
