Tenzin Geshe's family has been an aristocratic medical family. "My grandfather Sonam Rinchen was a famous master of Tibetan medicine. The incense he made was well sold in the upper class of old Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and India. Although many of our medical materials were lost, some valuable resources were passed down orally, which has benefited us a lot, so the techniques of Tibetan incense production have been passed down to the present day," said Tenzin Geshe.

I feel comfortable whenever I smell the fragrance of Tibetan incense," Tenzin Geshe said. "I hava always take the inheritance of my family's techniques as my responsibilit and I would never give up."
