Groups (Immergut) Dear Matthew, Since you mention the Journal of Global Buddhism, you might have seen my article on the Diamond Way there, which deals with questions of charisma and leadership: Scherer, Burkhard 2009. "Interpreting the Diamond Way: Contemporary Convert Buddhism in Transition" Journal of Global Buddhism 10, pp. 17-48. You also might be interested in an article by Lynn Eldershaw on Shambhala in Nova Religio: Eldershaw, Lynn P. 2007. "Collective Identity and the Postcharismatic Fate of Shambhala International" Nova Religio 10.4, pp. 72-102. Re: retreat - (if you read German): there are some interesting points in Saalfrank's empirical study of convert Kagyus in Germany [1994] 1997, see pp. 418-426: Saalfrank, Eva Sabine. Geistige Heimat im Buddhismus aus Tibet: Eine empirische Studie am Beispiel der Kagyüpas in Deutschland. Ulm: Fabri Verlag, 1997. I hope this helps and good luck!
