Buddhism and Theosophy

Theosophical teachings have borrowed some concepts and terms from Buddhism. Some theosophists like Helena Blavatsky, Helena Roerich and Henry Steel Olcott also became Buddhists. Henry Steel Olcott helped shape the design of the Buddhist flag. Theosophists including Evans-Wentz and Alexandra David-Neel, played a role in popularizing Tibetan Buddhism in the west.
