"you have no knowledge of transmigration and the higher dimensions that pervades all universes."
I have to admit, you got me there. Guilty as charged.

Man, Alex. You must really be lame if you're still stuck in a 2D reality. Try moving into the 3rd dimension for awhile. If you like it maybe you can upgrade to the 4D world with the rest of us. (Don't get started on 10D, Please!)  |

HEy all,
All i can say about lobsang rampa is that he has changed many peoples lives and for the better.
Who really cares if he made it all up or if he didn't..the FACT is is that what he wrote is actually true, and anyone who studies metaphysics will agree with me.
There is unfortunately for you sceptics truth to his writings.
And unless you've engaged in meditation or OBE...you really are making an uneducated statement.
I myself dont really know who lobsang rampa was ...whether he was a fraud ... or whether he was taken over by a lama...but at the end of the day i truly dont' mind.
He gave me insight into things from a young age that have kept me grounded throughout this life.
So be he a plumber or be he a sage...he reflected onto us the 'true' beauty of our ability.
And for that...i'll keep reading his books, which are brilliantly written by the way, if you havn't read them.

Are you really saying that you DON'T CARE that your guru is a complete fraud?? Man, it's one thing to be a run-of-the-mill mark; it's another thing altogether to KNOW you're a mark and not care.
Please explain how he could have "made it all up" and yet it is "actually true." That seems like an obvious contradiction to me.
Another question for you to ponder: Why would a man who possessed absolute truth have to invent a fictitious persona to write about it? If it's the "truth" he writes about which is important, wouldn't it be just as true if he wrote about it as his real self? It's well-established that Rampa wasn't who he claimed to be. Why did he lie? |

A lama with one l is a priest,
A llama with two l's is a beast,
A lllama with three l's does not exist. |

The Lama, by Ogden Nash:
The one-l lama,
He's a priest.
The two-l llama,
He's a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn't any
Three-l lllama.*
*The author's attention has been called to a type of conflagration known as the three-alarmer. Pooh. |

I channel for Lobsang Rampa and he says "You're welcome" for the books. He wants you to know that he's working on a new book in the Afterlife. You're going to love this one; it has pop-ups! |

No, I'm not a Good Humor man; I don't sell ice cream. I'm just a humble man who is trying to use his channeling ability for the good of Mankind.
Lobsang (or "Lob" as he's asked me to call him)tells me that he only has one of the pop-ups for the new book worked out so far. It will be a picture of his face in which his famous "third eye" will actually pop out from the page. It's very dramatic, Lob tells me. There will be more; I'm transcribing as fast as Lob can "dictate." Yes, I'm given the honor of actually writing down Lob's words. |

I have to say I really enjoy everyone's ability to analyze.
For this specific topic I would watch the "believer's" comments for enlightenment.
I really have to believe that truely enlightened people need not be upset by a handful of hoax fans. |

"Your review on TL Rampa is rather outdated and is borne out of an incredible constipated realisation of truth."
So your the kind of person I save up my farts for. A good fart is always handy for getting rid of people you don't like.

As someone who just started studying tibetan buddhism, I would like to say that the very explanation that Hoskins (Rampa) gives about how the soul of a tibetan lama transmigrated into his body is highly in contradiction with buddhist teachings (even if we assume that all the mystic stories about tibetan lamas are true).
Also, anyone who has spent any time with a lama would know that they would never openly speak about their "supernatural powers". Even a normal monk wouldn't openly say he has this or that quality, such as erudition, compassion, as it would be a sign of ego (all the buddhist teachings' goal are to get rid of ego). And to the people who say they don't care that he is a phony, if you think he might be lying about is identity, what kind of credibility does that give him. He wanted to expose his thoughts on spirituality, which might have been good. But he tried to gain a reputation by borrowing the title of a lama. That in itself is a sign that he is missing spiritual insight. Even if it was true, as a tibetan, wouldn't he know that they wouldn't beleive his story and simply have released his work under his westener name ? Even the Dalai Lama stated that his works are fictive and imaginary. I just bought one of his books (the tibetan name got me) and got a weird feeling when i started reading it. After about four pages, is was completely sure that he was no lama.
The importance of the lineage is predominent in tibetan buddhism, it must go back to the buddha. The teachings are passed on from lama to student. It is very dangerous if you read a little and think that you are spiritualy accomplished. If fact the opposite occurs, you use spiritual techniques to strenghten you ego. It is my opinion that Rampa's lineage goes only as far as his own ego.
I've read stories about masters with spiritual powers, but they always use them to teach Dharma. This guy seems to focus on the powers themselves and consider them the goal to accomplish.
Sorry for being so serious, I know you guys tried to lighten the debate with jokes, but i recently saw what kind of mental damage a wrong approach to spirituality can produce. |

rampa's book are good! for the time they were written and the life story, true or false, turned a lot of people on to buddhism including myself,occult knowledge is useless its just fuel for the ego as gab say's ;untill one sit's it meditation and quiet's the mind of what it thinks is this and that . |
