Grade 3 Mindrolling Monastery’s Incense

Mindroling Monastery Grade 3 Incense — Lhonk Region, Central Tibet

Authentic Nyingma Lineage Ritual Incense • Approx. 100 Sticks • 9" Length

Mindroling Monastery—the largest Nyingmapa monastery in the Lhonk region of Tibet—is renowned across the Himalayas for its ancient incense-making traditions. This Grade 3 incense is prepared according to the treasured recipe of the great master Terchen Rigyan Gyurme Dorje (Terdak Lingpa), the 17th-century tertön and founder of Mindroling.

Crafted through generations of monastic knowledge, this incense blends precious Tibetan medical substances used for centuries in the Sowa Rigpa tradition, including:

• White & red sandalwood

• Musk

• Saffron

• Bamboo

• Tsanna and aromatic Himalayan resins

• Local Tibetan herbs traditionally used for calming the subtle winds (rlung)

The result is a gentle, woody, less pungent fragrance—an ideal choice for practitioners who prefer a softer aromatic profile than the stronger Mindroling Grade 1 and 2 incense varieties.

Uses & Benefits

Mindroling incense is widely used in Tibet, India, and Nepal for:

• Offerings to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas

• Meditation practice, to support clarity and calm

• Relaxation and mental soothing, harmonizing the subtle winds

• Purification of shrine rooms, homes, and retreat spaces

Because it follows the authentic monastic formulation, this incense naturally supports devotional practice, concentration, and an atmosphere of sacred stillness.
