Dallas, I am not asking you to "let pass" anything. Your request
for sources is probably valid but I don't have the time for it, and
you wouldn't accept it anyway. All you have to do is to read
her definition of Nirmanakaya (a deceased Adept who stays
in the Earth's atmosphere to help others mentally or spiritually)
with that of Buddhism (the third and fleshy or form body of Buddha).
The discrepancies are obvious to anyone who reads both
HPB and the Tibetan texts now available. Try to find HPB's
description of the three Buddha-bodies anywhere in her writings.
You won't find anything at all like it is taught in Tibetan Buddhism.
David-Neel on the other hand knew her Buddhism inside and
out, but then she lived with them for many years.
