The Kapala, or skull cup, is a Buddhist symbol of impermanence, signifying the fleeting nature of existence. The brass bodies of these cups feature wonderful lotus flower designs, meaning the purifying and spiritual rebirth that these ceremonial artifacts represent. The skull in the Kapala represents death and the shift of consciousness—a powerful reminder of impermanence and the path to enlightenment. These cups are historically used to hold offerings during Buddhist rites, representing the self's commitment and practice.

The Brass Kapala Skull Cup Set is a fantastic choice for anyone wishing to strengthen their connection to Tibetan Buddhist teachings, as it provides a functional and symbolic instrument for spiritual rituals. Its excellent craftsmanship makes it an essential addition to any altar, shrine, or meditation place, encouraging mindfulness and reverence in everyday practice.

Introduction To The Kapala Set :

The skull cup, known as Kapala in Sanskrit, is fashioned from the oval upper section of a human cranium. It serves as a libation vessel for a vast number of Vajrayana deities, primarily wrathful. As a ritual implement, selecting the right skull is immensely important for the ritual's success. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Kapala or Skull Bowl is used ritually in several ways. For example, the Lama may use it as an offering bowl on the altar, filled with wine or blood as a gift to the Yidam Deity or all the Deities in the Mandala. Through the force of the practice of tantric visualizations based in deep philosophical study and meditation, a sort of transubstantiation will occur, and the wine or blood will be transformed into the Wisdom Nectar, a liquid form of the Enlightened Mind of the Deity or all of the Deities in the Celestial Palace of the Mandala.
