Book of Wisdom: Discourses On Atisha's 7 Points of Mind Training by Bhagwan Shree Rajaneesh, 1984 - This book is not simply an translation of Atisha's simple yet profound sutras, it is a treasure trove of wisdom from the mouth of the master. So profound,it opened my eyes to things I wanted to know, already knew, and didn't particularly care to know--they are all the same. Osho can really open your head and heart, show you REALLY how everything is ONE. If you let his teachings in. His words will give you joy, A-HA's, disappointments, courage, sadness, fearlessness and how to deal with fear--which is all centrally linked to the ONE fear--the fear of dying. Don't be scared of Osho, he would have loved it if you were though! What a powerhouse of infinite wisdom and philosophy! I love the man who was never born and never died. Osho--In my heart forever.

Question
I have visited a local temple a few times for classes and am confused. This one is called a Kadampa temple and Vajralama buddhist center. Are there multiple types of buddhism? How does it fit in with Tibetan buddhism and the Dalai Lama? I'm a novice and just looking to understand before I get too deep into the temple and their programs.Answer
Thanks for the question, David.
I decided to do a quick browse of the Internet to see if I could first ascertain the precise temple of which you were speaking? I did manage to find an entire website for the Vajralama Buddhist Center! You can go to it by accessing the link below:
http://www.meditateinseattle.org
Firstly, let me point out that there are, and historically have been, many different schools of Buddhism. Numerous schools which emphasize different areas of practice or development have come and gone, with some maintaining unbroken lineages to this day. And, in each different country that Buddhism has been solidly established, you will find a varying array of traditions.
Now, the original Kadampa (in Tibetan, roughly "oral transmission") tradition as established in roughly the 10th century AD by Buddhist scholar, Atisha. An important contribution by the Kadampa tradition was the clear and concise methods of practice which were carefully laid down to assist its students, but which also came to shape future practices. However, Kadampa did survive to be an extant tradition today. You might ask, then, how or why the Vajralama Buddhist Center practice Kadampa?
Although Kadampa did not survive as an individual school of practice, it was absorbed by other schools. The most prominent was the Gelugpa tradition (in Tibetan, roughly "school of the virtuous"). The Gelugpa tradition is more recent, having been established between 1300 and 1400 AD. When the Dalai Lama was made 'head of state' in the 17th century, Gelugpa became a nationally recognized practice. Of course, the Dalai Lama is now in exile in lieu of Tibet being occupied by China.
What effects this has had or continues to have on the Gelugpa tradition is difficult for me to say. How does Vajralama Buddhist Center fit into this equation? The overview for the Vajralama Buddhist Center says the following:
"Vajralama Buddhist Center is a member of the New Kadampa Tradition-International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU). The Union was founded over 28 years ago in the United Kingdom through the kindness of renowned Buddhist Teacher and scholar Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso."
This school seems to have adopted the old Kadampa and now teaches internationally. However, as I am not particularly familiar with the school, I am not sure if it teaches in the old Kadampa fashion, if it simply draws upon the Kadampa way, or if it mostly uses that name under more modern practices. That, I suppose, might be for you to find out.
