Printing Process
All of our inks and dies have been blessed by a Tibetan Lama (Lama Jigme Rinpoche). The inks were infused with intention during a fire puja ceremony.
Vajra is a Sanskrit term which translates as "Thunder Bolt" or "Diamond", essentially symbolizing Indestructibility & Ultimate Reality. The Vajra metaphorically represents our true nature, that part of us that is Pure, Untaintable, Immovable, & Indestructible (like a Diamond). Specifically it represents the "Wisdom Method" or "means" for which one conquers self & severs the root causes of ego: ignorance, delusion, attachment, anger, & fear.

VAJRA: more in depth
The thunderbolt translation represents the realization of urgency, activating immediate & extremely precise action or method.
"Then like a bull who has heard the clash of thunder, we explode into fierce action."
The Vajra implement held in the right hand is most commonly translated as Diamond. Therefore, symbolizing the ablity to cut any object and overwhelm with its incomparable brilliance. The Vajra or Dorje represents great durability -- superior hardness and immutability that is eternal. Ultimately representing the true nature of Mind: Pure, pristine, crystal clear awareness or emptiness.

Dorje:
Dorje is a Tibetan word with a couple different interpretations. "Do" means precious stone or gem, and "rJe" means noble prince, or lord. Thus translated as either, "the adamantine stone of all stones", or more literally, the lord or holder of the most precious stone or the Vajra.
Vajra embodies not only the brilliance of reflected illumination, but it also the impervious and fixed solidity or "Point of Power" around which all else turns -- the "axis mundi" or hub of the world.
Dorje & Vajra then, are like a Diamond, but the Diamond by itself is an inadequate symbol. However, just as the Diamond's hardness will cut all other substances on earth, so the ritual Sceptre symbolizes that which is indestructible, enduring, ultimate, and irresistible. Another way to describe Vajra could be "indomitable".
