Tibets Jinten

Stumbled upon this store while walking by. It’s a neat store! They sell really cool pieces of clothing and scarves. They also have a great section of jewelry. Incense are great! The guy working was very helpful.

(NB: I’m porting my old review from the «Little Tibet» page: the owner PMed me to let me know of the name change, and it says something about the quality of the new management that I never noticed.)
I’ve been patronizing Little Tibet for many years now. Heck, when I was in the Boston area, I’d sometimes come in just to have the incense in my lungs and to hear the Tibetan CDs that would usually be playing, and feel the blare of the city melt away.
The shop isn’t large, but it’s stuffed to the rafters with Buddhist wares, jewelry, clothing, fabrics, scarves, knickknacks, CDs, incense and memorabilia. The prices on all of these are reasonable — especially to those of us with slim wallets — and I can look from where I’m sitting at singing bowls, wall hangings and other items I bought there. I’ve also had fine service.
There are discount items as well … if you’ll look at the storefront photo Jessica R. posted, you’ll see a rack of clothing outside. That’s almost always there, and has a selection of long cotton print skirts for very cheap — $ 10 a piece, generally, when there isn’t an outright sale. My wife loves that style and bought a dozen or more over the years, wearing them into the ground.
Alas, I live a hundred miles away now … but when I was in Boston to perform in a concert in November 2013, I clawed away an hour to get out to this store, where I purchased some Christmas presents for my lady wife. I don’t give out many 5-​stars, but I really can’t think of anything about this shop I don’t like. Long live Tibet’s Jinten!

I love this shop, its one of those that I almost want to avoid because I love everything in the store and want to buy it all. I went in there a few months ago for the first time and got these really cool pants for only $ 30 that are loose and comfy and have really cool stitching on them, but they will also look professional for my line of work. I went back in the other day and it reminded me how much I like the place. They’ve got books and CDs, wall hangings, prayer flags, jewelry, everything. And the people who work there/​own it are very nice. Often in little shops like this the people are just all over you and it can be off-​putting, but at Tibets Jinten they leave you alone to browse but are extremely helpful and friendly if you have a question. Great little place, good people, reasonably priced.

This is a great little Tibetan and Buddhist shop within walking distance of Harvard Divinity School carrying a variety of ritual items, devotional art, music, clothing, tapestries, malas, jewelery and other adornments. I came in here for the first time after getting caught in the first snowfall of winter with out a hat, mittens or scarf. Not only did Tibet’s Jinten have inexpensive winter accessories and shawls, they were beautiful and very well made.
The current management is very friendly, human, helpful and good humored. I couldn’t recommend them more.
