📜 Story Behind the Craft
With a history stretching back over 1,300 years, Tibetan incense making is a profound cultural heritage. It originated in the 7th century, closely linked to the spread of Buddhism in Tibet. The craft is traditionally believed to have been developed by Thonmi Sambhota, a minister of Songtsen Gampo, who integrated knowledge from India and China . This incense was initially created for religious ceremonies, believed to purify spaces and facilitate a connection with the divine. Our incense revives these ancient, UNESCO-recognized techniques, transforming a sacred ritual into a daily practice of mindfulness and tranquility for the contemporary home .
