Scenting the Divine

Tibetan legends tell how the first wisp of sacred incense emerged as Guru Rinpoche stepped onto the snowy realm. While chanting blessings with a vajra, he released a fragrance unknown to earth—not of flowers, nor herbs, nor any worldly source, but a fusion of azure heavens, glacial melt, and a thousand years of devout prayers.

Here lies the ancient truth of Tibetan incense: never merely a scent, but a medium drifting at 4,000 meters—where earthly air merges with divine breath.
