The encounter between a thousand years of incense culture and Zen practice lies within this wisp of E'li Zhangzhongxiang (Goose Pear Curtain-side Incense).
Looking back in history, Li Yu, the Last Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, blended duck pears with agarwood to create an enchanting, heart-soothing fragrance. This elegant recipe was later recorded in Xiang Cheng (A Compendium of Incense) during the late Ming Dynasty, allowing its charm to transcend time.
Today, Puran Xiangtang (Pure Incense Hall) has revamped this ancient formula—while reviving its classic aroma, we’ve also endowed it with a serene power tailored for meditation and Zen practice. It’s no longer just incense; it’s a bridge connecting body and mind, leading you to inner peace.
We uphold the Zen spirit of “incense craftsmanship lies in harmony”. Every step of creation mirrors the focus of Zen meditation:
- Sourcing premium pear varieties for pure, fresh sweetness
- Tracing the origins and harvest years of agarwood and sandalwood to ensure authenticity
- Rejecting impurities to preserve nature’s purity
- Shunning overwhelming scents, pursuing only mildness and warmth
This dedication to “purity” aligns perfectly with Zen’s core—“simplifying complexity, returning to authenticity”.
When you light a stick of E'li Zhangzhongxiang, let the aroma guide your practice:
-
First whiff: Fresh, sweet pear juice—like morning dew dripping onto pear leaves—dispels distractions instantly, calming your mind.
-
As it burns: Mellow agarwood and tranquil sandalwood gradually unfold, like a Zen practitioner’s gentle whisper. It deepens your breath and settles wandering thoughts.
-
The mood: No clashing notes, just a long-lasting, peaceful aroma wrapping around you. It helps you quickly enter a “carefree” Zen state.
Ideal for all quiet moments:
- Morning Zen sitting
- Afternoon mindfulness meditation
- Evening pre-sleep mental healing
