High in the rarefied air of the Himalayas stands the great Lamasery of Potala. Here, as a young boy, T. Lobsang Rampa came to study the teachings of the Lord Buddha. Through the eyes of this young acolyte, we learn of the life of Prince Gautama and his discovery of the Middle Way, the Four Noble Truths, and the state of Nirvana.

Lobsang Rampa receives are full of questions about all aspects of metaphysics - pendulums, dowsing, how to levitate, teleport, and "remote view", etc. In Candlelight, Dr. Rampa answers all of these questions and more, replying to queries about God, good versus evil, acupuncture, the media, and how to manage one's everyday affairs.

As Dr. T. Lobsang Rampa lay desperately ill in a Canadian hospital, he looked up with pleasure to see his old friend and mentor, the Lama Mingyar Dondup, standing by his bedside. But it was with some dismay that he listened to the message that golden Lama had brought: Lobsang Rampa's work on this earthly plane was not completed. He had to write another book, his eleventh, for there was still more truth to be revealed to the world.

The dying man jerked and then collapsed. His body twitched, and then lay still. The Lama nodded again to the acolyte, who touched flame to the third stick of incense. "Spirit now released from the suffering body," said the Lama, "pay attention before setting out on your journey; pay attention for I shall detail to you the steps you must take, and the path you must follow..."

My budding career as a literary scholar was suddenly hijacked by a singular seemingly random event. It was 1976 when I tiptoed into a tiny Buddhist shrine room in a farmhouse nestled into the Black Mountains of Wales and there beheld a Tibetan master, the 16th Karmapa. That glimpse into the enlightened mind became embedded like a seed and grew into a quest over the next decades to find the key places on our planet called the Hidden Lands. Why did it take decades to get there? What made the right ingredients emerge to penetrate this sacred sanctuary? And who hid it and why?

This audio guide to approaching life "in a better way" is based on a decade's worth of His Holiness' annual public lectures given in India. Specific themes range from religious tolerance to compassion and non-violence. More Dalai Lama.

The boy was going to learn all the medical arts of Tibet and then journey to China to study medicine in the Western style.
