Lobsang Rampa

Lobsang Rampa is the pseudonym of the English writer Cyril Henry Hoskin ( born April 8, 1910 in Plympton, Devonshire, England; † January 25, 1981 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada).

Was published in 1956 the successful book The Third Eye ( German title: The third eye ), in which the author Dr. Tuesday Lobsang Rampa called and spent as senior Tibetan lama. He claimed a third eye, which had been opened to him in a painful operation, would lend him esoteric skills. The first name Tuesday should remember that he was born on a Tuesday.

When his true identity was known, he claimed that Lobsang Rampa was the spirit now within the body Hoskins, who had consented to this exchange. However, he could not explain why he spoke English, but not Tibetan.

Hoskin still wrote other books under this pseudonym:

• Doctor From Lhasa
• The Rampa Story
• The Cave of the Ancient
• Living With the Lama
• You- Forever: Wisdom of the Ancients
• The Saffron Robe
• Chapters of Life: Beyond the Tenth.
