Welcome to BWB, Godzilla !

I'm assuming that you have used the Buddhanet Worldwide Search facility (mentioned at the beginning of the topic list for this Beginners forum) when looking for groups in your region.

As far as the Shambhala organisation is concerned, it has at its head the ''King and Queen'' of a mythical kingdom in Tibet !

I'm probably not the best person to comment on Tibetan Buddhist organisations because after a long offline involvement I decided to leave all the superstitions, intrigues, squabbles and the cultural add-ons in favour of a western branch of the Theravada Thai Forest Tradition and reading the Pali Suttas which are the earliest record of Buddha's teachings.

with kind wishes
