What is the art of incense appreciation?
 Since ancient times, incense has been used as an offering in spiritual practice. Buddhism regards incense as a symbol of "offering" and "purification." The wisp of smoke that rises is both a respectful tribute to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and a manifestation of the purification of one's own mind.
 In the art of incense appreciation, from carefully preparing the incense powder and arranging the incense seal to the moment of lighting it, everything is a practice of "concentration" and "mindfulness." The rising smoke symbolizes the aspiration to reach the other shore; the flowing fragrance signifies the gradual clarification of the inner mind.
 Amidst a wisp of fragrance, not only is the space permeated, but our mind and body are also brought peace. Let us offer to the Buddha with a pure heart and liberate ourselves with a peaceful mind.


 The art of incense appreciation is not only an aesthetic of life, but also a form of spiritual practice.
