In 1955 the autobiography of a Tibetan Lama was offered to a London publishing house. The author claimed to have been trained as a surgeon monk in a Tibetan lamasery, to have undergone the operation of the ' Third Eye' which is said to give power to see into a man's heart, and to have attracted the special attention of the Dalai Lama. But was his story true?
