Shechen Surpoe Pure and Sacred Offering Tibetan Incense
SKU: IN63Shechen Surpoe Pure and Sacred Offering Tibetan Incense
Shechen Monastery, one of the six main monasteries of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, was originally located in Kham, Tibet. It was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution in the late 1950s and later rebuilt in Boudhanath, Nepal, in 1985.
In the 1980s, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche re-established the rich traditions of the original Shechen Monastery at a new site near the Great Stupa of Boudhanath in Kathmandu, Nepal. It was his wish that this monastery would preserve the philosophical, contemplative, and artistic traditions of the mother monastery.
Sur is used by Buddhists as a pure and sacred offering to the sense of smell. It is said to please the Buddhas and guardian deities, to nourish beings of the six realms, and to pacify demons and obstacle-makers.
This Sur is carefully prepared according to ancient Tibetan tradition. Its ingredients include the “three white substances” (yogurt, milk, and butter), the “three sweet substances” (molasses, honey, and sugar), six medicinal spices, barley flour, and special sacred ingredients. All are precisely combined to create this supreme offering.
