Description:When it was suggested to the man who came to be known as T. Lobsang Rampa that he should write a book about his early life in Tibet he rejected the idea. He had no wish for the fame he knew it would bring, nor for the jealousy and the problems that jealousy would engender. But he needed money to do the research he had undertaken for the benefit of mankind, so eventually he agreed and wrote “The Third Eye,” a classic that brought Buddhism to the Western world and shed light in countless dark corners the world over. Now, his only close friend and confidante throughout his last quarter century on Earth has given us an inside look at the life of struggle and suffering endured by this fascinating and remarkable man in his effort to help humanity. Her own life of dedication and devotion to Lobsang Rampa is interwoven with his, and this book should be read by his followers and detractors alike, as well as by those new to metaphysics.

It's rare and fascinating to see something through the eyes of someone else who was there during the writing of all the books.
After reading the book,I went through and compared incidents in the account (eg. the whole journey and stay in Uruguay) with both Rampa and his wife's accounts. In every case,the accounts were competely consistent, despite being told from a different viewpoint.
Just because Sheelagh was the only one with this story to tell, didn't mean she would be able to do justice to the telling of it.But I happily found it is excellently written, and a 'warts and all' account,making it reliable.
Rating: Excellent ****** (NB Star rating system should be showing maximum)
It is a sympathetic, witty and above all loving tribute to the man she knew simply as 'Chen'. Sheelagh who was Rampa's closest friend and confidant, skilfully builds a portrait of this extraordinary and enigmatic man.
Highly recommended to anyone.
