About The Ritual Item :
This Wooden Dorje Phurba Dagger is a precious ritual tool with profound roots in Himalayan and Tantric spiritual practices. The phurba, which is meticulously hand-carved from wood, is used during ceremonies to ground negative energy, eliminate obstructions, and preserve spiritual areas. Its tri-bladed design, adorned with symbolic deities and imagery, symbolizes a division of ignorance, desire, and aversion—essential for transformation and spiritual release.
This lightweight yet powerful relic, 29 cm tall and 6 cm wide, exemplifies the old workmanship of Himalayan artisans. The upper half has detailed carvings of wrathful faces and deity forms, and the lower blade is sharpened for symbolic rather than functional purposes, acting as a spiritual weapon rather than a physical one. This phurba, which is frequently connected with Vajrakilaya and other wrathful protector deities, is excellent for altars, meditation areas, or as spiritual presents for Vajrayana and shamanic practitioners.
Introduction To The Phurba :
The ceremonial dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: phurba) is important for the expelling of evil and is thought to be especially effective in neutralizing the forces that obstruct Tantric Buddhist practice. It has ancient origins, first appearing in the Indian Rg Veda as the core blade of the vajra used by Indra to destroy the primordial cosmic snake Vritra. Kila, which means peg or stake in Sanskrit, was most likely associated with Vedic sacrifices. Meditation on the Vajrakila Tantra, an early Indian scripture first promoted in Tibet in the eighth century by Padmasambhava, one of the founding teachers of Tibetan Buddhism, is used to invoke the three-headed Vajrakila Buddha.
