Amasing knowledge V... i feel like my mind opens up and in front of me is a new " field"...
You have recommended me a book a while ago..."Meeting the Buddhas" by Vessantara... would you be able to recommend me a school or a group where I can study tibetan buddhism ? I live in England, Southampton.

Namaste.

Namaste Alchemical,

thank you for the post.

the chosing of a particular school of practice is something that one should do for themselves after spending some time investigating them. as such, i wouldn't be all that comfortable recommending a specific school at this point in time.

that said, you can get a very good historical overview of the 4 Schools of Vajrayana Buddhism as found in Tibet here: http://www.tibet.com/Buddhism/index.html

here is a site that i have, personally, found very useful:

Good luck on your search, IMAHO!

metta,
