Dharma is the Sanskrit term meaning “right of living” or “proper conduct.” Dharma is the underlying principle for religions in India, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism. These religions emphasize Dharma as the correct understanding of Nature. The three chimes in Woodstock’s Dharma series are designed to pay homage to the spiritual nature of Dharma, and the underlying principles that Dharma emphasizes.
The most recent addition in the Dharma series is the Dharma Bell Tree chime. The chime features a graduated design with three bells on the top, then two bells, then one bell, and then the wind catcher. Woodstock drew its inspiration for this Dharma Series design from the ancient concept of Dharma and the ancient practice of hanging bells above homes in order to ward off evil or maleficent spirits.
The Dharma gong is another recent addition to the Dharma Series. The Dharma gong can be hung indoors or outside, and it has a very full, pleasing sound when struck Woodstock drew its inspiration for this Dharma Series design from the ancient practice of sounding gongs to ward off evil and warn of invaders.
The third chime in the Dharma Series is the Dharma cowbell. This design is unique and fun. It sounds like real cow bells, but it has a very pleasing design, and is suitable to be hung both within and outside the home.
