The need to make a new translation of The Third Eye, one of the most famous books in the world, presented us with a completely unexpected gift. Before you is a new complete translation of the book, obviously impossible in Soviet times for censorship reasons. Very small but frequent deletions in the previous edition made the book incomparably poorer. Anyone who has loved this book since ancient times should definitely read it in the new edition. “The Third Eye” is an amazing story about a spiritual journey, a wonderful autobiographical story about an extraordinary childhood in the Chakpori monastery - a stronghold of Tibetan medicine. A seven-year-old boy from an aristocratic Tibetan family, under the guidance of a great Master, comprehends the secrets of aura vision, astral travel, and healing. This is a book about friendship with the Dalai himself - the Lama, the last Great Incarnation. This is a rich artistic document about Tibet, about its unique nature, about the life and morals of its leading classes - the aristocracy and clergy, about the system of physical and spiritual education of children and youth in Lamaist monasteries, about the history of the country. Finally, it is also an introduction to Tibetan Buddhism. Simply, fascinatingly, but deeply, the author reveals all that is most essential in this great religion - from traditions, legends and picturesque cult details to the highest moral and spiritual truths.
