the mainstream world does not want you to learn all about yourself so they can keep feeding you the same old crap they have for years. in this time and place of existance we are here to learn what we cant in spirtual form ie hardships, this is a learning place and if you dont get it right you can bet you wont be over the otherside of the fence eating yummy fruit, you will return untill you learn or evolve to what you set for yourself before you came. He has made me the person i am today i have alot to thank. I have followed his techniques and i can tell you he is not a hoax. I have been reading lobsangs books now for 15 years i started reading his books when i was 14 he has written over 18 books i am missing two from the collection. tlrampa 28 March 2009 -Preceding unsigned comment added by Tlrampa ( talk People are entitled to their opinions and in no way will I force my view upon other, but please read all his books and then make up your own mind if you still disagree, then we agree to disagree. Sadly society is more focused on ridiculing others rather than finding facts out for themselves. Then you will have all the proof you need by personally having experienced that which he writes about. Rampa wrote, but people want any proof dropped into their lap rather than trying the many things Dr. There is much proof to collaborate what Dr. Another is "He was the son of a plumber", his father was never was a plumber (and let's not forget that Jesus was the son of a carpenter) so what career a parent has, or had, is neither here or there. We hear remarks like "Lobsang Rampa is a known fraud" without any facts to back up that claim it’s mainly what the Press printed and people accepted as absolute truth without another thought.
I agree that the books are not harmless at all, although this is probably not the place to go about why I think so. Pretty much the same thing happens here in Brazil if you substitute "Kardecist Spiritualism" for "Scientology". And the f* thing is that these books are still here in the nearest local library without a good warning! Andries 22:07, (UTC) I think the best way to keep the word "hoax" (and I agree that is indeed the better word, Andries) in the NPOV column although it appears without attribution or qualification is to give some facts of the exposé that would establish there is no counterargument to its status as a hoax. I heard from a former member of Scientology (Monica Pignotti) that who was influenced by Lobsang Rampa and what made her more susceptible for the $cientology business. The books look pretty harmless but I think they are not. Hello Luis, I agree that it can be misleading to put a positive article but I felt obliged to it because of NPOV. Including this link is slightly misleading. He makes lots of absurd and factually false claims about Tibetan Buddhist practice, to the point that some Monks like reading his books for the comical value. There are no ifs, ands or buts applicable. I guess there is no real harm in including this so-called "positive article" link - but Lobsang Rampa is a known fraud. 10 Fair use rationale for Image:Rampa.jpg.
