    IIRC, kilmainhaim is the only tibetan one in dublin. The others seem a mixture. I don't think Leeson St is a particular tradition of it.
    Different schools of buddhism approach buddhism in a different way; Zen do a lot of sitting and meditating, Tibetan do a lot of visualisation stuff, Pure Land is the closest to an actual religion and it's kinda different. I think each school has a lot of old texts from lamas and so on who followed that school only. Theravada and Mahayana were the earliest split I think, and the rest went on from there.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to start lecturing ;)
    But yeah, Kilmainham is tibetan anyway

    You might want to look at buddhanet.net if you want to find out general differences, or even http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/
