RAMPA: TIME IN THE STONEThis new book contains the complete and corrected text of two Rampa books: The Hermit and The Tibetan Sage.THE HERMIT. The old hermit kept silent, seemingly gazing into an infinity of pasts through eyeless sockets. Long long years before, as a young lama, he had been set upon by Chinese officials in Lhasa and cruelly blinded for not revealing State secrets which he did not possess. Tortured, maimed and blinded, he had wandered embittered and disillusioned away from the city. Moving by night he walked on, almost insane with pain and shock he avoided human company. Thinking, always thinking.THE TIBETAN SAGE. "Lobsang! LOBSANG!!" Dimly I seemed to swim up from the depths of a sleep of exhaustion. It had been a terrible day, but now-well, I was being called. Again the voice broke in, "Lobsang!" But I suddenly felt commotion about me, opened my eyes and thought the mountain was falling on top of me. A hand reached out and a quick jerk lifted me from my place of rest and swung me rapidly aside, barely in time, too, because a massive rock with sharp edges slid down behind me and ripped off my robe. Quickly I stumbled to my feet and in a half daze followed him to a little ledge at the far end of which was a very small hermitage.COMPILER'S NOTE: Two of Rampa's books are contained in this single volume.
