Hi Svein
I've never been to Boulder (!!!) so I'm only judging on my own interior view and a few musings of others.
Brighton, UK, is very small - 200,000 people - but in terms of traditions and spirituality then it's the most diverse place in the UK I'd say (outside of London)
We've got Vipassana people, Insight people, FWBO people, NKT people, Zen people, Shambhala people... and that's just the Buddhist groups! And I've missed some!
It's a lively, arty city, with two universities and lots of bright-young-things. It's warm, sunny and by the sea.
I LOVE it (if you hadn't guessed) and you are invited to visit any time! :)
Vajrayana? Yes. How about we start a Vajrayana thread to discuss?
"May the sufferings and negativites of living beings ripen upon me,
And may my happiness and virtue ripen upon them" -
