Clouds of Offering Incense — Traditional Bhutanese Incense

Prepared by Lopen Tandin Dorji Poizo Khang in Thimphu, Bhutan, this traditional herbal incense contains red and white sandalwood, juniper, camphor, saffron, and other precious aromatic ingredients.

Its name evokes the vast clouds of offerings visualized in Vajrayana Buddhist practice. In traditional smoke offerings, fragrant substances are offered to the Three Jewels and enlightened beings with the aspiration to purify obscurations, accumulate merit, and create auspicious conditions.

The maker, Lopen Tandin Dorji, is a retired Buddhist master whose incense house also produces traditional offerings for Tara practice. A meaningful incense for daily shrine offerings, prayers, and meditation, connecting the simple act of offering fragrance with the cultivation of generosity and devotion.
