Tuesday Lobsang Rampa

Ha ha ha! If you have tried to dab in to mystic side of buddhism, meditation occult or some such sort, you would have heard of Tuesday Lobsang Rampa. :-D A very elite buddhist monk, who had varied experiences like fighting in world war 2 to seeing the ancient caves of tibet to meeting the dalai lama , visiting Venus on alien air crafts... His first book made an interesting read. Catchy, entertaining. then I googled about him; :) that made more interesting read than his books. He is an english plumber, Or rather he has the body of an english plumber but the soul of a very elite buddhist monk. Plumber wanted to commit suicide and soul wanted a younger body.. so they swapped. cool or what. ;-) Its worth reading one of this books atleast anyway :) he writes confidently and quite well. Entertaining to say the least.
i read 2-3 books of his and had got to liking him quite a bit too.... untill .. untill....I felt like this a few days ago

" Lobsang is such a Swine! I mean yeah I knew he couldnt possibly be genuine,but I thought he had some merit to him. I thought may be he was an occultist who wanted to spread information better to all by writing fiction etc.. but christ, i found evidence of outright plagiarism , he has lifted lines directly from "The Science of Breath by Yogi Ramacharaka" he has copied the techniques mentioned here verbatim! shameless person. Thanks to Google I could find this easily! Such a swine! ha!" ;-)
