— When we are beyond desire, we open to what is with no judgment. Which allows Being to flow into all our actions. Life simply moves through us.

Valeria Teles interviews Fu-Ding Cheng — the author of "Map of Desire: Blueprint for Self-Fulfillment."

Fu-Ding Cheng––visionary filmmaker and shamanic artist––began his career as a practicing architect, but has since focused his attention on books, spirituality, and filmmaking. In 1990, he founded Liquid Light Productions devoted to help change the "dream of the planet" through shamanic workshops, art, books and media.

His multi-faceted career includes a prize-winning series of films, Zen-Tales for the Urban Explorer presented as a special retrospective at the Hammer Museum, music videos (Starship's We Built This City on Rock and Roll, nominated "Best Video of the Year"), illustrated album covers (Heart's Dog and Butterfly), and wrote and illustrated a children's book, Dream-House. While teaching film directing at the North Carolina School of the Arts, he created a groundbreaking new curriculum, "Shamanic Tools for the Filmmaker."

However, first priority over all vocational activities has been his life-long devotion to spiritual awakening. Since break-through life-changing experiences in 1995 as apprentice to Toltec shaman Don Miguel Ruiz (The Four Agreements), Fu-Ding has been impassioned to help spread the deepest wisdom to the widest number of people. For the last twenty years, he has been leading spiritual/shamanic workshops distilled from his life-long quest involving Eastern meditation in the Himalayas, Chinese Kung-Fu, spiritual psychology, and Meso-American wisdom traditions. Based in Venice, California, he is now launching his latest book, Map of Desire, a Blueprint for Self-fulfillment.
