Erica,
Thanks for your reply and comments. Yes I have myself read much that 
Blavatsky has written on the Bon, she does not have a lot of good to say about them. 
However with the advent of the Internet and over 100 years of time a new 
perspective that is perhaps containing a fuller discourse upon them is now found 
open to all. Yes she did describe the Bon as "aboriginal" and they claim the 
same saying they trace themselves back 18,000 years to the Celestial Lha as do 
also the Sakya Clan. Blavatsky gives mention of the "Lha." It is also possible 
that her remonstrations on the Bon were in part a "blind" to detour others 
from sources she considered not appropiate to instruct on in her time. As I say 
any one can search "Dalai Lama Bon" on Google and see the intensive interaction 
between the Gelugpa and the Bon in the present time. Weaving the threads 
together is just ordinary research. The Bon have a very manifold Literature on 
Shambalha (Ol Mo Lung Ring).
