Celebrated for more than 500 years, Obon is tied to the ancient lunar calendar, and occurs each year in the beginning weeks of [ ]
Clouds drift byon warm summer breezes,pines rising to touch them. As a means of describing the indescribable, Zen, poetry, and incense have long gone hand in hand in Japan. Placing an importance on intuitive transmission of indescribable wisdom dates to the Flower Sermon of the Buddha. In it, the Buddha help up a single lotus [ ]
And, for now, this is the final installment in the Monsoon Incense reviews. I moved these five to their own post as they are essentially all single ingredient incenses and what I mean by that is they all feature a single ingredient even if there are supplemental ingredients. The links to each incense will take [ ]
This second/recent and ninth overall installment of Monsoon Incense reviews covers a handful of mostly unrelated scents (the nextl installment will cover a set of ingredient-specific scents). However, there are some familiarities in these. All links go to the Monsoon Incense site; however, Exotic Incense also carries the line in case you want to order [ ]

All purchasig links go to the Bhagwan Incense site; however, Exotic Incense is carrying the Bhagwan and Good Incense line in the US as well if US readers prefer [ ]

It should be noted that even though the incense links go to Bhagwan’s pages, Exotic Incense is carrying the Bhagwan and Good Incense lines in the US as well if [ ]
Good news from Hart at incense-tradtions.ca this morning, they are shipping to the US again. Do keep in mind there is a new flat rate $15.00 shipping fee for any size order plus a 37.4% tariff charge. If you have any further questions do email Hart at the site (you can also find additional info [ ]
