As taught by Blavatsky, Theosophy teaches that there is an ancient and secretive brotherhood of spiritual adepts known as Mahatmas, who—although found across the world—are centered in Tibet.
Seperti yang telah diajarkan oleh Blavatsky, teosofi memandang bahwa terdapat para ahli spiritual kuno dan rahasia yang berpusat di Tibet (walaupun mereka dapat ditemui di berbagai belahan dunia).
