Well in the case of the Gelukpa's, I see a group of people, investigating *emptiness* at finer and finer levels and then spending a good amount of the rest of their time debating the paradox of how there can be 'form and emptiness', 'emptiness and form'. As a consequence they're able to train others in emptiness in a very authentic way. They share and play well with others.
