師法自然,才是製香的精神 Incense should be produced in a natural approach.

    自然界的香材各具不同的療癒效能,透過炮製、存放、轉化的過程,可以再次激發、喚醒香材的能量。香,具有大自然的原生力,也是宇宙訊息能量的載體,承載了大自然的訊息,是平衡身心的天然療癒珍品。
Natural incense materials have their own healing properties, which can be activated in the manufacturing, storing, and transforming process. Incense has a natural power, and it also stores the information of the universe. Therefore, incense is a precious treasure that can be used to help balance our body and mind.


  從古書記載中,可以了解古人製香會依照天干地支、時辰、節令、節氣進行香材的採摘、炮製、存放,甚至要求取自聖山或向東流動的水。
According to ancient literature, it is said that ancient people collected, manufactured, and stored the incense materials at the most appropriate timings. For better quality, the ancient people even went to a holy mountain to get water or chose the water that flew to the east.

古人的製香精神符合大自然的「道」,與大自然的運作法則相互配合,「師法自然」是古人對應自然的智慧與知識體系,也是一種順乎道的生活態度。
That is to say, the ancient people followed the Way, the nature, which is not only their wisdom but also their attitude toward life.
合乎道的製香精神,可與天地相呼應;人們在這樣的節奏中,活出「天地與我並生」的和諧境界,活出「萬物與我合一」的靜觀自得。香,成為人們心中最美的象徵!
                      ------------摘自《品香靜心》
Ancient people took a natural approach to manufacture incense; by such doing, they felt they coexisted with heaven as well as mother earth in harmony and thus felt ever so blessed!
