I think the following quotes may clarify H.P.B.'s view about the Bons.

"The Bhons or Dugpas, the sect of the "Red Caps," are regarded as the most versed in sorcery. They inhabit Western and little Tibet and Bhutan. They are all Tantrikas. It is quite ridiculous to find Orientalists who have visited the borderlands of Tibet, such as Schlagintweit and others, confusing the rites and disgusting practices of these with the religious beliefs of the Eastern Lamas, the "Yellow Caps," and their Narjols or holy men." Theosophical Glossary H.P.B.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So degraded, however, has it now become, that it is often placed on the headgear of the “gods,” the hideous idols of the sacrilegious Bhons, the Dugpas (Sorcerers) of the Tibetan borderlands; until found out by a Galukpaand torn off together with the head of the “god;” though it would be better were it that of the worshipper which was severed from the sinful body. " 
THE CROSS AND THE PYTHAGOREAN DECADE. S.D. H.P.B.

Bhons (Tib.). The followers of the old religion of the Aborigines of Tibet;of pre-buddhistic temples and ritualism; the same as Dugpas.

Well there is a great difference first the information I read about the Bons are in the theosophical literature. By the way any rational mind knows that there is nothing like satan. I am deprived of my library here in Greece,I do have but few books consequently I am unable to send you more quotes on the subject. So forgive me to sustain such opinion without offering you more quotes from the Theosophical literature. If I have a time I will make aresearch on the subject later on. But such view about the Bons is sustained specially by Blavatsky.

And I've heard no less times that Blavatsky was a messenger of
Satan.
