Although Buddhism especially stresses oral transmission through teachings, lectures and retreats, by now much information has been collected in text, on audio or video.

Jewel Heart has a library which contains widely read books as well as rare commentaries that can be borrowed by members.

At present, much work is being put into recording and making available lessons by Gelek Rimpoche and other teachers that have visited Jewel Heart over the last twenty years. A number of lectures can be downloaded from the audio archive on this website.

The Jewel Heart Newsletter is a magazine that comes out four times a year. It contains articles about theoretical Buddhist themes, but also about members' personal experiences with the Dharma. Many of these articles (in Dutch) can be read on the website.

Sangha News is Jewel Heart's monthly e-newsletter with topical information for members or anyone who is interested. Do you want to keep in touch with Jewel Heart activities and receive our free Sangha News in future, please inform the Jewel Heart office: secretariaat@jewelheart.nl.
