Himalayan Bön Incense

Description

From the box: In pure places high in the magnificent Himalayan mountain range, the ingredients needed to make incense can be found according to the ancient historical texts of the Bon tradition. After harvesting a selection of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, one offers the fragrant smell of the smoke from these finest ingredients to the Three Jewels, to the oath-bound protectors of the Buddhas’ teachings, to the glorious worldly protectors, to the eight classes of spirits, and the beings of the six realms. This offering pleases the Buddhas and holds the protectors their oaths. Through this generosity, the sentient beings of the six realms are satisfied. These ingredients bring about happiness and well-being and are combined with plant powders to form incense sticks. The Bonpo minorities of Dolpo, the holders of these ancient lineages have made this Himalayan Bon Incense this way.
