Alfred Percy Sinnett was an English journalist who, at the age of thirty-nine, moved to India to become editor of 'The Pioneer', the premier English daily on the sub-continent. It was in India he met Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and began his studies into Theosophy and other aspects of the occult world. 'Esoteric Buddhism' was first published in 1883. Wide-ranging in scope, the book covers topics as diverse as life after death, Karma, the origin of Evil, The Chain of Globes, psychic perception, Nirvana, and Esoteric Cosmogony. Delving so deeply into what Sinnett considers "absolute truth," the work also highlights the many ways in which Buddhist esotericism agrees with the occult wisdom of other faiths.

The ultimate destinies of our race - concerning also the nature of other worlds and states of existence differing from those of our present life - checked and examined at every pointy verified in all directions and constantly under examination throughout has come to be looked on by its custodians as constituting the absolute truth concerning spiritual things, the actual state of the facts regarding vast regions of vital activity lying beyond this earthly existence. European philosophy, whether concerned with religion or pure metaphysics, has so long been used to a sense of insecurity in speculations outrunning the limits of physical experiment, that absolute truth about spiritual things is h...

The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett is a book published in 1923 by A. Trevor Barker. The work consists of one-hundred and forty-five letters written by masters Koot Hoomi and Morya to Theosophical author Alfred Percy Sinnett (author of the much renowned work Esoteric Buddhism) between the years of 1880 and 1884. The letters are particularly important to the Theosophical Society and their wider movement because of their long elaborate discussions of the theosophical cosmic order and spiritual hierarchy. It is generally regarded as the most authoritative work of theosophy that is accessible to the general public.
No other book is quite like this private collection of letters. Preserved in the British Library, they were written between 1880 and 1884 to Alfred P Sinnett, editor of a leading Anglo-Indian newspaper, The Pioneer. His correspondents were two Mahatmas whom H P Blavatsky has acknowledged as her teachers and the inspirers of her Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine. First published in 1923, this important volume is filled with sublime philosophical and ethical instruction, revealing not only far-reaching concepts of religious and scientific thought (since proven in large degree prophetic), but also practicality, warmth of heart, patience, and ripeness of humour. The letters, moreover, yield a clearer understanding of H P Blavatsky and of the Mahatmas' aim in fostering universal brotherhood.
