By Car:
Make for Corwen, which lies on the A5. Leaving Corwen heading west on the A5, go straight on at the traffic lights (about 1 mile west of Corwen). Shortly after, you will pass the Rhug Organic Farmshop on your left and you then take the next right signed to Betws Gwerfil Goch. (N.B. If you are driving along the A494, you will meet the A5 at the aforementioned traffic lights, where you turn right.) Take the second road on the left where you will see a caravan in the corner garden (exactly 0.4 miles from the A5 ) and continue for another two miles on the narrow farm road. Vajraloka is through the gate at the very end of this road (which becomes increasingly rough after you pass Blaen Ddol, on the right).
