RE: "What does Theosophy offer the world that, say, can't be found in Buddhism?"

Dear Friends:

I find in MAHATMA LETTERS that the Mahatmas refer to the Buddha as the
"the Great patron of the Adepts."

Why would Theosophy be anything different from Buddhism -- at least,
the Mahayana Buddhism of, for instance the VOICE OF THE SILENCE ?

In any case Theosophy is NOT a religion -- H P B has declared this
repeatedly. It is that philosophy and that Science which synthesizes
them all.

Best wishes

Dallas

Jerry, you wrote:

Good question, Jerry. Can you please answer that
question. I'm sure many readers here on Theos-L would
like to know your thoughts on this particular subject.

A related question might be:

Why become a Theosophist when you can become a
Buddhist?
