Low-smoke, grounding incenses traditionally used in Zen monasteries. These scents promote clarity, focus, and inner peace during meditation practice.
Historical Context
Incense has been integral to Zen Buddhism since its introduction to Japan in the 6th century. The burning of incense represents the impermanence of all things (mono no aware) as it transforms from solid to fragrance to emptiness.
