Agarwood and Faith
The king of incense, agarwood is used as an offering by Buddhists, Taoists, Catholics, Christians and Islam.
- Buddhism: The religion believes that the fragrance of agarwood can penetrate the three domains, which makes it an important offering.Thus, the agarwood powder is used in meditation, scripture chanting and other holy ceremonies. Agarwood is also used in making prayer beads to be hung around necks and wrists. It is common for a Buddhist to hold the prayer beads in his/her hand when reciting the scripture. Being warmed by body temperature, the agarwood beads would release a fragrance that induces clarity and peace of mind.
- Taoism: Agarwood is burned for meditation as well as when spiritual practice is being performed. The “smoky” scene is a representation of how the “qi” – energy – of heaven and earth is being unified. To practise the Taoist exercise for health, it is very common using agarwood to help awakening and enlightenment.
- Catholicism and Christianity: After Jesus was crucified, his body was covered with myrrh and agarwood. It was also an ancient Christian tradition for the bride and groom to plant an agarwood tree for their marriage. The holy oil is made of olive oil, agarwood, myrrh and musk.
- Islam: Agarwood is used in celebratory ceremonies and prayers.
