Doctor from Lhasa

By Tuesday Lobsang Rampa, Lobsang Rampa, T Lobsang Rampa

Book Overview

New Saucerian is proud to reissue the original paperback reprint of T. Lobsang Rampa's "Doctor From Lhasa," which was first published in the U.S. by Saucerian founder Gray Barker. After it was published, a very heated controversy arose, which is still continuing today. Rampa's contention that a Tibetan lama was writing "through" him, and had fully occupied his body, was not one to which many Western readers were likely to give credence. Many of them, however, were confounded by Rampa's obvious mastery of the subject, opening wide a door on a fascinating and little-known part of the world, despite his having no record of previous literary ability. In the end, no one was able to truly disprove his story.Whatever the truth of the matter may be, it is right that this reprint of "Doctor From Lhasa" be made available to the general public once again. It stands on its own merit, and is highly enjoyable. On the larger, more fundamental issues it raises, every reader must come to a personal decision. Is it possible that this book may be the absolute truth - a product of the incredible powers of the holy men of the Himalayas, who are said to have projected their reincarnations into the mountainous areas of the globe to avoid the holocaust brought by the Chinese? Could we, as a culture, have ignored some very important questions?

Phenomenal, life-changing book, and series of books...

The impact this book will have on you completely depends how open minded you are to things that you are unfamiliar with. This book, and all of Lobsang Rampa's books tells of his incredible life, and the beliefs and customs that he was brought up with. The issues discussed in the book(s) are far from being widely accepted in the Western world, but this does not make them untrue. If you read this book, and any of the other of his books, with a truly open mind, then I promise you it will have a profoundly positive impact on your life. Even if you decide that you do not believe all of what he is saying, it is an extraordinary story even read from a fictitious point of view, but there is something for everyone in the books. These books have had a bigger impact on my life, and view of the world than any other book, story, movie or anything - and that is not to say I blindly believe everything he has written, but I certainly do believe much of it. This is another incredible book in a phenomenal series - highly, highly recommended.

JUST LIKE YOU WERE IN THIS MAGICAL LAND. .

ITS AMAZING THE PICTURE DR RAMPA CAN PAINT WITH A PEN. . .The story told is so life like that you can almostimagine you were in Tibet experiencing adventure with the authorI first read THE THIRD EYE by Rampa about l5 years ago and I've been searching for other works by him ever since...and now I've found one I really like even better than THE THIRD EYE.In addition to the story itself another thing I liked about this edition of a long out of print book was its large, easy to read, type. I could open the book and hold it in my hand and turn the pages with ease. But the magic here is in the knowledge the reader will go away with. Its phenomenal what Rampa knows and is willing to share with the world.
