Alfred Percy Sinnett was an English journalist who, at the age of thirty-nine, moved to India to become editor of ‘The Pioneer’, the premier English daily on the sub-continent. It was in India he met Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and began his studies into Theosophy and other aspects of the occult world. ‘Esoteric Buddhism’ was first published in 1883. Wide-ranging in scope, the book covers topics as diverse as life after death, Karma, the origin of Evil, The Chain of Globes, psychic perception, Nirvana, and Esoteric Cosmogony. Delving so deeply into what Sinnett considers absolute truth , the work also highlights the many ways in which Buddhist esotericism agrees with the occult wisdom of other faiths.
