The Tree of Life Incense Sticks: Branches

In world mythology, the Tree of Life is believed to be the cosmic tree that connects all forms of creation, and is represented across various religions and philosophies. Within the Buddhist tradition, this is the Bo tree or Bodhi tree under which the historical Buddha Shakyamuni sat when he attained full awakening.

Inspired by the outreaching branches of a tree, these Tree of Life incense sticks are hand-rolled from carefully harvested Himalayan herbs, oils, resins and spices. Formulated primarily from frankincense resin and a traditional herbal mixture, this all-natural incense blend stimulates our human capacity for knowledge and learning, especially in the arts, sciences and spirituality. It is recommended for yoga, meditation, relaxation and as an offering to the Buddhas.

Buddhists also offer incense to purify what has been offered on the altar and to create the causes to have morality, ethics and hold one's vows well - virtues of the Bodhisattva spirit of selfless altruism to benefit others. Hence it is strongly encouraged to offer the best incense (and by extension, the best offerings) that one can afford.

These natural handmade incense sticks are non-toxic and contain no narcotic or habit-forming ingredients. It is environmentally-friendly and completely safe for inhalation. For the best experience, burn in a Tibetan-style incense burner.
