shamabala are the mormons of colorado. chogyam trungpa hated weed so in an epic display of karma in exchange for being a hardcore alcoholic colorado is now a “weed state”. this is canon
word on the street is that inside this stupa they built here are two larger than life gold statues of chakrasamvara and his consort in union (that means having sex, presumably standing up) that only high level practitioners get to see 
exactly.
of course in some dystopian post apocalyptic western united states religious war situation i would side with the mormons over the shambalans... this goes without saying
