So locally a new group has popped up, a part of the Kadam school of Tibetan, I'm assuming.

The only thing is I'm not all that familiar with the differences in Tibetan sects, considering I follow zen, the idea of not meditating and guided meditation seem rather counter productive to me.

Can anybody explain what the differences might be?

NKT have been round a while.

They are also a cult, and worship a false spirit, banned by the Dalai Lama.

Do NOT go there, there are horror stories, just go to lioncity.net/buddhism , and send a PM to davcuts ... he ran a NKT center then renounced the banned spirit with many mental scars.

I go to a NKT place every Sunday morning. We meditate for ten minutes, talk for however long we feel like it (on a particuliar subject), then meditate again. It's not a cult. Before I went, my mother wanted to check it out. She was taught in an actual zen temple in Hawaii, and was friends with many monks. She found nothing wrong with the place.

It's just a different style. My mother is very zen and still enjoys going with me to the NKT center.
