We've got a lot to catch up on here, since this is a new version of the website with all kinds of new features, including this blog, a new gallery, and more Web 2.0 stuff than you can shake an incense stick at.
So this is all about exotic and special things, and there are certain details that you'll be hearing more about soon, but to start off with, you have to picture a place in Northern India, in the Himalayan mountains. A place where there's something rather special going on.
Our story is all about a village called Tashi Jong. But way before this tiny mountain community ever existed, way back in time, there were a small group of Tibetan monks. Monks that were, in a special way, and for a special reason...doing something very significant, which would be important to us even though we are hearing about it many years after it happened.

Lama Chodpa Incense, a pure natural Tibetan monastic incense from the Himalayan village of Tashi Jong, is exclusive, rare and very special. |
Lama Chodpa Incense is produced through the efforts of a charitable society called the Friends of Nub Gon Monastery (named after the Nub Gon monastery in Kham, Eastern Tibet).
Friends of Nub Gon Monastery is a non-profit charity formed between the monks and some lay people of the village with the goal of easing tensions and social concerns through working on projects of great importance to the surrounding community.

FNM is currently building a hospital, creating a school and new learning spaces, including a library which will offer literacy camps for young adults and computer skills training, a residence for seniors in the village, and a large scale reforestation effort that involves the local subsistence farmers, local and national governments. FNM has completed an outreach center for social mobility efforts, and a sanctuary for women. |
