A brief history of incense and Buddhism​

The act of burning incense is an ancient practice that is almost universally carried out in all schools of Buddhism. If you’re practicing Buddhism with other Buddhists, then you will likely come across the use of incense.

The burning of incense originated in India thousands of years ago even before Buddha was born. Even today, India is the top producer of incense.

Originally, incense were made and used by early Hindu monks for their pleasing aromas and perceived medicinal value.

The use of incense has been an import aspect of Buddhism since Buddha’s discover of the path to enlightenment.

Incense are frequently mentioned in the Pali Canon which is the oldest complete scriptures on the practice of Buddhism.

Eventually, India exported the making and use of incense to other Asian countries such as China, Japan and beyond.
