Origin & Lore

Buddha oil is a devotional and meditation oil named for the Buddha, the teacher whose path centres on awareness and presence. It is worked for grounding, calm and staying in the present moment, and for creating a peaceful space for meditation or quiet reflection.

The Buddha’s teaching begins with sitting still and breathing; this oil is made for exactly that moment.

Offerings of light, incense and flowers are among the most traditional acts of devotion in Buddhism, made at shrines across Asia. Sandalwood and other fragrant woods have been burned before images of the Buddha for many centuries, and scent is counted among the offerings to the senses.
