Darkness over Tibet

Theodore Illion

0/5 ( ratings)

n 1934, the author set out to explore Tibet, dyeing his face with iodine and oil to avoid detection in a country that was closed to foreigners at the time. Theodore Illion wrote three books about the country, Darkness over Tibet was also published in 1937 and The Tibetan Art of Healing came out in 1975.[2] In Secret Tibet primarily focuses on the Tibetan people and their thoughts and customs; Illion enthusiastically relates tales of his encounters with nomads, bandits, lamas, and other holy men.

Perhaps the most incredible chapter relays an encounter where Illion observed a miraculous healer help a traveling passerby who had been struck by a falling stone which:

"..tore savagely down his right arm.. tearing away the skin and inflicting a deep flesh wound at least twenty inches in length.
I am unable to say whether [the healer] actually touched the bleeding wound or whether his hand passed over it about an inch from it. Be that as it may, the bleeding stopped instantly."[3]
