DUNGKA means white conch. It’s a type of shell used in prayer by Buddhist monks. The monks long ago discovered that, after putting a hole in one end of the shell, the wind blowing through the shell creates a deep resonant sound. Buddhists believe that this sound resonates throughout the universe. It’s as sacred to them as the words of the Buddha himself, and together with bells and candles, is an integral part of their daily rituals. Helping them focus and purify their minds.

All our candles are imbued with the practices and teachings of Buddhism. The flame of each DUNGKA candle represents the destruction of negative energy that builds up from the stresses and strains of daily life. The candle flame dispels this negative energy bringing light into your home and your heart. 

The different fragrances and ingredients help to create different moods. Smells have the power to evoke distant memories and feelings and set the right mood. Whether you want feelings of calm to help you sleep or meditate, to be soothed, or you want more stimulating ready for practicing yoga or a feeling of freshness to bring extra clarity a DUNGKA candle can set the right mood.

Light up a DUNGKA candle, take a deep breath and let the light of the flame and the fragrance lift your mood and leaving you feeling ready to tackle whatever comes next. Light up a Dungka candle, and lighten your heart.
