With the blessings of Dukpoema; goddess of incense

The purpose of incense is to provide an aromatic environment to purify our thoughts of conflicting emotions, calm the body and mind, sharpen our senses, help focus and concentrate; as an aid to meditation and prayer and bring vitality and inner peace to oneself. To provide you with products based on this theme as a companion in your solitude is o

ur mission at Dakpa Tamdin Incense. Incense is one of the eight offerings we make to the Triple Gems (Buddha, Dharma and Sangha) which comprise of Argham (drinking water) (Tib-Choying), Padyam (water to wash Buddha’s feet with) (Tib-Shabsee), Pushpe (flowers) (Tib-Metok), Dhupe (Incense) (Tib-Dukpoe), Aloke (light) (Tib-Marme), Gandhe (perfume) (Tib-Thijab), Navidya (celestial food) (Tib-Sharse) and Shapda (music). Out of the eight, water and incense are the most commonly used offerings. These physical offerings are made to compliment our mental offerings. The history of incense culture in Tibet starts in the 8th century when Buddhism arrived at its Himalayas. Tibet was introduced to the globally unique culture of incense during the reign of the mighty King Songtsen Gampo who was converted to Buddhism by his two consorts, Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal and Princess Wencheng of China. The Buddhist King had sent Thonmi Sambhota, the founder of the Tibetan script, to learn Sanskrit in India. Along with a rich library of Buddhist texts, he also brought the method of incense making on his return to Tibet. The oldest extant Tibetan text on incense was written by Padmasambhava who was invited to Tibet by the then King Trisong Detsen. On one occasion when the King fell sick, Guru Padmasambhava healed him with the practice of sang (smoke offering). For the benefit of future generations, a mural with instructions, history and description of the benefits of sang offering were inscribed on the walls of Samye, the first Buddhist monastery of Tibet, built by the Guru himself. Among the many scriptures on the method of incense making, Dakpa Tamdin incense refers to the Peme Chumbu written by the 1st Jamgon Kongtrul, Lodro Thaye. All the major monasteries in Tibet produced their own incense containing their own special substances. The Tashi Lhunpo monastery in Shigatse, seat of the successive Panchen Lamas of the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism, produced an incense called Tsopoe. In Lhasa, the Potala Palace produced Shingkham Kuenkhyap, in Sakya they made Sapoe and in Mindrolling, a major Nyingma monastery, produced Minling Surpoe which went on to be the most popular incense all over Tibet. Dakpa Tamdin as a young monk in Sakya, Tibet, learnt the art of incense making from many revered lamas in his monastery. After the Chinese occupation, he fled Tibet and started producing incense in Kalimpong, India, under the instruction and guidance of His Holiness the 2nd Dudjom Rinpoche (1904-1987), the supreme head of the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Dakpa Tamdin, being one of Rinpoche’s favourite disciples, was given the Jinlab Phabta which is passed down till today in every batch of incense we make by a process called dham tsik newa kunsel. With Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche’s approval and usage of Dakpa Tamdin incense for his personal daily practice, demand increased and Dakpa Tamdin incense flourished. Dakpa Tamdin incense was used in most households and in major Buddhist centres in Asia, Europe and America. Along with growing popularity, came a wave of fake Dakpa Tamdins which are still sold today. Dakpa Tamdin continued to produce incense well into his late seventies and is currently retired and living in Kathmandu. He has now passed down his secrets and technical expertise to his daughter and granddaughters but still keeps a watchful eye on his method of production and ensures that the finest quality is maintained. Dakpa Tamdin's daughter, Dechen Choden Ukyab and her daughters have restarted the production of the four types of incense in Kathmandu. PRODUCTS

1) SHINGKHAM KUENKHYAP
The Tibetan word Shingkham means ‘world of the Buddha’, Kuen means ‘everywhere’ and Khyap means ‘to spread’. This incense is a special one that was produced exclusively for the Potala palace at Lhasa. It contains all the requisite herbs and substances to worship and please Gyalwa Rignga (the 5 Dhyani Buddhas)’s Shingkham (palace).

2) RIBO SANGTSOE
The Tibetan word Ribo meaning hilltop, Sang meaning clairvoyant and Tsoe being a type of worship, altogether means mountain smoke offering. The purpose of this incense is to cleanse and purify oneself of spiritual impurity or contamination. Along with prayer and meditation, it is also used during the hoisting of prayer flags (tib. Lungtha)

3) MINLING SURPOE
This incense contains all the ingredients of the old incense of Mindrolling, one of the six major Nyingma monasteries in Tibet. Poe) with a dent (tib. Sur), hence the name Surpoe. The word Minling is derived from Mindrolling meaning ‘place of perfect emancipation’. Minling Surpoe is mainly used for mandalas (tib. Kingkhor) as it contains all the substances and herbs permitted in the making of mandalas, big and small.

4) SAMBARA
This was among the first kinds of incense to be produced. It contains all basic herbal ingredients which have been used for centuries in Tibet. In the Buddhist scriptures "Dho Tharpa" it is mentioned that Gyajin (Indra- - the king of a god realm) offered the sweet fragrance of Sambara Dukpoe to the Buddha himself. From this early evidence, we incur the importance of incense in Buddhism. At our Kathmandu factory, throughout the process of manufacturing incense sticks right till it’s packaging, we faithfully follow the age old craftsmanship of Tibetan tradition. So what leaves Dakpa Tamdin incense unsurpassed by any other Tibetan incense? Our products have a unique blend of herbs and spices, one that has been passed down by word of mouth from H.H Dudjom Rinpoche to our grandfather and now to us. This high quality mix resulting in a unique aroma relaxes and soothes your inner soul. This long cherished feature sets us aside from the rest and gives us a benefit that only Dakpa Tamdin incense enjoys. Dakpa Tamdin incense also boasts of being purely handmade and is prepared and maintained under strict hygienic conditions. Our incense also lasts longer than most other incense available in the market because of its superior ingredients. We hope you enjoy the oriental fragrance of our exquisite creation, the fruit of many long years of experience, practiced skill, continuous improvement and passion of our grandfather along with the collective effort of our grandmother and great grand aunt.

Today marks Kusho Dakpa Tamdin's (1925- 2017) 3 year anniversary. He passed away peacefully at the age of 92, on the 20th day of the 5th month lying down on his right side like he said he would and asked his wife not to touch his body.

Kusho Dakpa Tamdin grew up as a monk in his family owned labrang of the Phumar Samcho in Sakya, Tibet. In his early thirties, after his fathers passing when he had only recently taken over as the head of his labrang, the Communists raided and destroyed his newly renovated monastery. He fled to Kalimpong, India with his older sister and some nuns from his labrang.
In exile, he married and got two daughters. Looking for options to make a living, he asked his lama Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche for advice. Rinpoche instructed him to make incense, the རི་བོ་བསང་མཆོད་ Ribo Sangtsoe in particular. Dakpa Tamdin's first ever order came from Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche. Soon, with his quick wit and diligence, orders flocked in from all parts of the world. From the small town of Kalimpong he asked English speaking friends to translate order letters and responded to the growing demand at the dawn of Tibetan Buddhism's spread to the west. Many great figures like Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Sogyal Rinpoche, Kangyur Rinpoche, Bhutanese princesses, to name a few, visited his humble incense making shed. His name became synonymous with incense.

Popola led a simple, disciplined life of an avid businessman and dharma practitioner. He was a devoted head of a household, strict father and a loving grandfather. After going through the loss of his newly built monastery in Tibet, he realised the futility of grand buddhist structures and did not establish one in exile but he sponsored and supported many dharma activities and monasteries in Kalimpong. He was so full of knowledge and well versed in the scriptures, all of which has gone with him leaving only the legacy of authentic Tibetan incense.

He passed away on this day 3 years ago and Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche with a retinue of khenpos arrived at our door, by coincidence or his good karma, to perform his last rites of phowa. A beautiful rainbow showed up on his cremation day.

📌Dakp Tamdin Incense 설명
수많은 향 제조법과 문헌들 가운데 닥빠 땀딘Dakpa Tamdin인센스는 1대 잠곤콩뚤 (Jamgon Kongtrul) 린뽀체가 저술한 라는 책에 쓰인 제조법을 따른다.
⠀
티베트의 모든 주요한 사원들에서는 자신들만의 특별한 재료로 만든 독자적인 향을 가지고 있었다.
한 예로, 티베트의 수도 라싸의 포탈라궁에서는 싱캄꾼캽 이라는 향이 있다. 겔룩파의 대사원중 하나인 따시훈뽀 The Tashi Lhunpo 사원에서는 최뾔(Tsopoe)라는 향을 만들었다. 싸꺄파에서는 싸뾔 Sapoe, 그리고 닝마파의 6대 승원중 한 곳인 민돌링사원 Mindrolling 에서 만드는 민링술뾔 Minling Surpoe 등의 향이 티베트에서는 가장 대중적으로 인기있었다.
⠀
싸꺄파의 닥빠땀딘 스님은 젊을 때부터 자신의 사원에서 존경받는 스승들에게 향을 제적하는 방법을 배웠다.
중국의 침공 이후 그는 티베트를 떠나 인도의 칼림퐁 Kalimpong에서, 닝마파의 최고 지도자였던 뒤종 린뽀체 (Dudjom Rinpoche, 1904-1987)의 지도하에 향을 만들기 시작했다. 닥빠땀딘 스님은 곧 뒤좀 린뽀체의 애제자 중 하나가 됐으며, 린뽀체는 그에게 향의 가장 중요한 재료 중 하나인 ‘탐째 녜와 꾼쎌(Thamdze Nyewa Kunsel)’이라는 환약을 주면서 모든 향에 조금씩 섞을 것을 지시했다. 이 전통은 지금까지 내려오며 이로써 향을 축복하는 ‘진랍 밥따(Jinrab Babta)’의식은 지금까지 한 번도 끊어지지 않았다.
⠀
뒤좀 린뽀체는 닥빠땀딘 스님의 향을 가장 선호했고, 또 자신의 일상적인 개인수행에 항상 그의 향을 사용했다. 이로 인해 닥빠땀딘의 향에 대한 명성이 알려지면서 그 수요가 전 세계적으로 늘어났다. 닥빠땀딘 인센스는 현재 많은 가정과 아시아, 유럽, 미주의 주요한 불교센터들에서 사용되고 있다.
⠀
수요가 증가하면서 가짜 닥빠땀딘 인센스도 등장해 현재까지 시중에 돌고있다. 닥빠땀딘 스님은 70대 후반까지 계속해서 손수 향을 제작했고, 최근 은퇴하여 카트만두에 거주하고 있다. 그는 그의 비법과 기술을 딸과 손녀에세 전수했지만. 여전히 생산과정을 지켜보며 최고의 품질이 유지되도록 하고있다. 닥빠땀딘의 딸인 데첸 최댄 우꺕(Dechen Choden Ukyab)과 그의 손녀들은 이제 카트만두에서 4종류의 향을 생산하고있다.

Anniversary or Jetsun Milarepa (1040-1123)

In the darkness of the lands to the North

He who is known as T**a Ga, 'Joyous to Hear, '
To that great being, I pay homage!
