The Voice of the Silence (Verbatim Edition)
I believe that this book has strongly influenced many sincere seekers and aspirants to the wisdom and compassion of the Bodhisattva Path. --14th Dalai LamaUndoubtedly Madame Blavatsky had in some way been initiated into the deeper side of Mahayana teaching and then gave out what she deemed wise to the Western world. . . Here is the real Mahayana Buddhism. --D. T. SuzukiThe late Lama Kazi Dawa-Samdup was of the opinion that, despite the adverse criticisms directed against H. P. Blavatsky's works, there is adequate internal evidence in them of their author's intimate acquaintance with the higher lamaistic teachings, into which she claimed to have been initiated. --W. Y. Evans-Wentz, Tibetan Book of the Dead
