Sang, the incense powder, is the clearest stuff, it’s basically a material the incense sticks are being rolled from. That’s why the experts prefer to burn powdered incense. Though it is slightly more difficult in use than usual sticks.

 

I’ve already bought couple of dozens of sorts of sang in your shop, and I can confess you that the Temple Sang series is my favorite, I tried them all. The Medicine Buddha one is something beyond this world at all.

 

Not every sang can be lit equal easily. Some sorts you can easily light with a match, some sorts - with a burning incense stick, and for some you need to use a charcoal.

 

My patented method - is to mix several sorts of sang; first I light one that ignites easily, and when it starts to smolder it ignites the one that I have chosen for today.

 

Or I just grab a charcoal. How to use it? First, you take a small ceramic bowl. Make a bed of sang on it. It can be the simplest and cheapest sort. Then you take a charcoal tablet with tweezers and light it up. Wait for the charcoal to warm up, when it stops to sparkle and starting to go gray around the edges. Then you lay it flat on the bed of incense powder and on the top you pour the sang you want to be a guest tonight.

 

Voila!

 

Thank you for the great shop.

Wish you all the soonest enlightenment!
