本品按照第三世噶玛巴让琼多吉依照《时轮经续》精心配制的秘方，采用红白檀香、甲片、丁香、麝香等二十五种纯天然名贵药材，依循古法手工制作而成。保持了藏香的纯净传承与品质。

This product was elaboratly made by applying the secret recipe, which was, according to the essence of Auspicious Kalachakra Mulatantra, invented by the 3rd Karmapa Rangjung Dorje. Introducing 25 natural precious medicinal materials like red sandalwood, sandalwood, musk and clove, it is made by hand following the time-hornored methods. The product keeps the purity and high quality of the Tibetan incense.
