TIBET: land of gold and poverty, intrigue and simplicity of soul, where a chosen few are given the power of seeing with one brief glance deep into the innermost thoughts of others, recognising their angers and their joys, and even diagnosing their sicknesses. This is the power of the Third Eye.

Lobsang Rampa has himself endured the painful operation by which the Third Eye is opened, and in this absorbing book he also tells how, as a mere boy of seven, he left home and entered Chakpori Lamasery, the Temple of Tibetan Medicine, where he studied under great masters, learning from them such mystic arts as Clairvoyance, Levitation, Kite-flying, and Astral projection... His story is one of the most fascinating ever written.
