Lung Poe Tibetan Herbal Meditation Incense

From Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, Namo Buddha, Nepal

Handmade by monks associated with Thrangu Mentsee Khang, the Tibetan medicine clinic at Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, this traditional herbal incense is especially suited to meditation, contemplation, and quiet daily practice. Thrangu Rinpoche was one of the most revered Kagyu masters and a tutor to the 17th Karmapa.

Supporting a Calm and Settled Mind

In Tibetan medicine, lung (wind energy) is associated with movement, breathing, mental activity, and the nervous system. When lung becomes disturbed, traditional Tibetan medical teachings associate it with restlessness, agitation, and difficulty sleeping. Lung Poe Incense is prepared from traditional Tibetan medicinal herbs and is traditionally used to help harmonize this wind energy. For meditators, this connection is particularly meaningful. Whether practicing shamatha (calm-abiding meditation), mindfulness, or simply sitting quietly, the gentle ritual of lighting incense can help mark the transition from everyday activity into a period of stillness and contemplation. The fragrance provides a sensory reminder to relax, return to the present moment, and allow the mind to settle naturally.

From the Sacred Site of Namo Buddha

This incense comes from Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery at Namo Buddha, one of Nepal's most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage sites. According to Buddhist tradition, this is where the Buddha, in a previous life as Prince Mahasattva, offered his body to a starving tigress and her cubs in an extraordinary act of compassion. The monastery, established under the guidance of the late Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, is an important center of the Karma Kagyu tradition, renowned for its teachings on meditation and the preservation of Tibetan Buddhist knowledge.
