Blows your mind away

Listen, you have read all the other reviews, some good, some very good and some well, let's say they call Dr Tuesday Lobsang Rampa a hoax, a plumber from Devon England. Well he maybe a plumber from Devon he is, but if he is then how come some plumber can write about someone in a far off country in 1959 when the Chinese were invading the country and still know about what was surely then quite a hearsay way of living? I would just like to say that when my wife and I first met in a nightclub in the early seventies, we spent all night discussing the book I had just read which was then the Doctor from Lhasa. My eldest son said to me one day that he wanted to read a book, he had never ever shown an interest in reading at the time. I gave him a copy of the Third Eye. What a difference I saw in him when he had completed this book. He then went on too read all the other books by Dr T Lobsang Rampa. He even started using my computer for the first time to track down copies of the books that were missing from my collection. He is now in India studying Budism and will soon be travelling to Nepal to take a course on the Tibetian langauge. His ambition is to teach English in Tibet, were he visted on his 21st birthday. This is all down to the fact he also read the THIRD EYE.

El Tercer Ojo

Es un libro excepcional, que los mantiene interezados hasta el final, un libro diferente, pero que vuelve a demostrar que las 3 religiones que existen en el planeta tierra tiene algo en comun UN SER SUPERIOR (DIOS) que nos aman y quiere que seamos cada vez mejor, es esta vida o en la siguiente. leanlo y lo van a disfrutar minuto a minuto, les va a cambiar un poco la manera de ver a las personas que nos rodean.

An outstanding book for all

I first read this book in 1973, (which made the best seller list in 1957) and could not put it down. Dr, Rampa, (who I am told died in 1983) was a Tibetan "Lama", a recongnized incarnation, according to the Buddist religion. After being educated as a medical lama at the Chakpori Lamasery in Lhasa, he traveled to China in the 30's to complete his medical education. While serving with the Chinese army during W.W.II, he was captured by the Japanese. He escaped, and traveled the world for the next decade, including the U.S. Eventually his body, broken from years of torture at the hands of the Japanese and Russians, wore out. He returned to Tibet in the 50's and "died". With the help of the secret Tibetan metaphysical master lamas, he underwent a "transmigration", in which his astral body took over the body of an englishman, who was about to commit suicide (this person worked for the local waterworks, hence the derisive term "plumber", which was used by the British tabloid press in an attempt to ridicule him). Read about this in "The Third Eye"," Doctor From Lhasa", and The Rampa Story". I corresponded with Dr. Rampa several times in the '70's, and I can tell you he was a real person. I loved all his twenty odd books, and also the two books written by his wife. Read them , and learn about the real occult world. He is passing on the true ancient wisdom held within the land of Tibet for eons, the true story of human evolution and potential.

Do you believe? Doesn't matter...fascinating either way!

This author wrote a total of 19 affordable paperbacks on the topics of Tibet and the forgotten mystic abilities of mankind. You may have heard the stories about the author, that he was a "hoax", not who he claimed to be. Read the books! He openly discusses all of these accusations, and often states that because his story is so unusual, he is often disbelieved. Then, once you tire of the whole controversy regarding the author, you will still be left with a wealth of down-to-earth information about topics considered "out of this world". If you are seriously interested in the possibilites of reincarnation, astral travel, meditation, etc. but you don't want to read a bunch of New Age jibber-jabber, read The Third Eye and any other book by T. Lobsang Rampa. The author's writing style is warm and humourous, interweaving the lessons with stories from his facinating life experience. I have read and re-read all 19 of his books so I am obviously a fan...but I was skeptical at first. You will be too, because the story is unlike any you've ever heard. Never mind, whether you consider his work fact or fiction, Rampa's books are page-turners one and all. (Note: those who mentioned their wish to contact the author...unfortunately, this is not possible because he passed away in 1981.)
