The following is from THE DIALOGUES OF G DE P, 
VOL 2, PAGE 207 (in reference to Gautama Buddha):

<<For twenty years after his Nirvana, he lived, but 
retired from the sight of men, teaching only a few of his 
chosen Arhats. In Other words---and I am going to 
speak plainly---he went to the Himalayas, he went to 
Sambhala where he is Chief. You have heard me speak 
of Sambhala before. At the time when he cast off the 
physical body he remained---and still remains---as a 
Nirmanakaya, more exactly as the Buddha of the Fifth 
Race, or rather still more accurately to speak, as one of 
the two Buddhas of the Fifth Race---the first one. This 
Buddha is at present the spiritual head of the Great 
White Lodge. He remains as a Nirmanakaya still, 
known to and in constant conference with the 
Mahatmans and Chohans. He is therefore our own 
supreme Head, and it is he who can truly be called the 
Silent Watcher of our Fifth Root-Race. Not the Silent 
Watcher of the Planet, but of our Fifth Root-Race.>>
