Here in Finland the Helsinki Blavatsky-lodge members are travelin 
all over the country lecturing and increasing the number of 
members founding new lodges.
Interestingly their view is that Tibetan lamas are the closest you 
can get to a Master if they are not Masters themselves.
They are continually funding lamas to come over here to teach and 
lecture.
Others than Blavatsky-lodge members doesn`t much care about 
lamas...
But then most of life-force in Finnish TS is flowing through 
Blavatsky-lodge.
