The acclaimed “Samadhi” incense, known in the Tang dynasty as 供佛印香, traces its origins to the temples and study rooms of ancient China. Once used to mark the passing of time during meditation and as an offering to the Buddhas, this incense embodies over a millennium of contemplative tradition. Its foundation rests upon the solemn strength of Hainan aloeswood, anchoring the scent with depth and quiet gravitas. Rising above are refined herbal notes of Reiryo-koh 零陵 and other ancient botanicals, creating a fragrance that is bitter, cool, and profoundly grounding—a scent that recalls the still air of a Tang dynasty scholar’s study, where incense smoke curls like ink strokes across crisp calligraphy paper and lingers around the silk damask curtains. Burning Samadhi evokes inner stillness, clarity of thought, and the subtle tranquility of presence—the fragrance of time slowed into contemplation. Let the bitter yet cool notes surround us with its grounding stoicism. Comes in a 10 grams tube.
