Many thanks!

Have seen this as a Karmapa honorific, but what do the words Dezhin Shegpa (Shekpa) mean?

Humans themselves are makers of themselves - by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage; for mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance.

as Shantideva points out, it is better to wear shoes than to try and cover the world in leather. Nice idiom. Shantideva? Perhaps not original with Shantideva. The older text of the Yoga Vasistha uses a similar simile: When one’s mind is perfected, the whole world appears to him to be full of nectar...

Lama Zopa has said that Feng Shui, after Buddhism, is best. Here is one of the FPMT Venerables who teaches it and wrote a book about it:
