What is a good gift for a spiritual person?

[George Fil]

So i was in a meditation class. And now i am moving to another country and i want to buy a present to my meditation/spiritual teacher as a gratitude for 2 years of non taking money from me.

He is not into materialism of course but i need to say a thank you with all my heart to him and his wife for their teachings. To offer something back you know.

What would you guys suggest for this situation?

some sort of rare plant. orchids maybe, but they are sterotypical for enlightenment peeps.

Or an ambiguous glass sculpture.

Create something, like a song, drawing or painting, or pottery, etc. If you have a kid handy, ask them to finger paint love. I think your teacher would be happy to see you value creating.  Also, maybe make a donation in their name.

Give them money.

There is no such thing as spiritual person per say. A person cannot be "spiritual". Spirituality would mean you transcend your personality, not making a identity out of your personality.

PS: Some flowers are always good

Incense

Or some very healthy, purifying food or tea maybe.

A year off from responsibilities so they can do the work without interference.

Beat me to it

Failing that, a juicy spiritual book. Something non-popular but deep. Although if your teacher is already woke, he probably doesn't want a book.

A nice mini gong. Or an really elegant rosary

All the suggestion seem so nice that if I were you, I couldn't choose. Buy all of them and go to your teacher with a truck of gifts 

Definitely get the flowers suggested here plus a donation in his name plus sth you cteated like nahm said and finally a nice worm hug should do  All that when you take them out to a nice place (like somewhere in nature) for a tasty meal you made yourself. 

(With all that, I kinda wish I were your teacher )  

PS: instead of all that, you could simply write them a poem and show your gratitude in it. A letter like that would always stay with them and become a memorable gift.

@George Fil A gift ain't enough to give back equally what he gave to you. But your love,positive energy,and silence can give it back  The best gift for a teacher is to embody what you've learned from him. Thats the best gift.

I would give him a nice spiritual book.

Organic essential oils? Like a little basket of them.
