We are pleased to present the Aryaloka sangha newsletter, the Vajra Bell. All issues are available here for download in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format.

What does Vajra Bell mean? Vajra means thunderbolt or diamond, that which cuts through all obstacles to Enlightenment. The vajra is a representation of the Unconditioned, a union of opposites, the ultimate expression of wisdom and compassion. A vajra bell rings out far and wide the melody of Transcendental Reality. As a newsletter, the Vajra Bell serves as another vehicle for bringing the sangha together in common spiritual practice.
