Rampa insisted that he was a high Tibetan lama who had transmigrated into the willing body of Cyril Hoskin to perform his mission in life. His critics claimed that he was Cyril Hoskin, a Cornish plumber who had written ''The Third Eye'', a book about Tibet which was one of the greatest literary hoaxes of all time. He died unrecognised and unclaimed by the people of Tibet whom he had tried to help.Lobsang Rampa, who resembled an Englishman with a Devonshire accent, claimed that he was a Tibetan lama.
