Esoteric Buddhism (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

One of the first books to explain Theosophy for the general reader, this volume is made up of the author’s correspondence with an Indian mystic. Sinnett’s 1884 collection of writings on Theosophy—the nature and progress of humanity, the metaphysical cosmos of the Planetary Chain and World Periods, Buddha, life after death, and Nirvana—is a classic of the genre.
