Handcrafted Buddhist Ritual Bone Phurba for Altar and Ritual Use
About our phurba
This handcrafted Buddhist ritual bone phurba is a revered ceremonial item that reflects traditional artistry and spiritual regard. It is made from buffalo bone that is ethically obtained. At an astounding 54 cm in height, 15 cm in width, and 1.15 kg in weight, this Phurba is not only a work of outstanding artistry but also has significant religious significance in Tibetan Buddhism. The Phurba, also known as the ritual dagger, is regarded as a potent weapon for destroying ignorance, suppressing evil forces, and removing barriers. Because it was made from buffalo bone, it emphasizes the spiritual practice of respecting all life, making it a sacred and ethically meaningful artifact.
This Phurba's elaborate imagery has profound spiritual significance. Three furious Buddhist deities, each facing a different direction, are carved at the top to represent the all-seeing ability to defeat evil and defend the dharma. The expertly crafted skull heads in the center, oriented upward and downward, symbolize the passing away of existence and the victory over death. The base's three sharp blades pointing in various directions represent the three fundamental sources of suffering, ignorance, attachment, and aversion. This strong Phurba stands atop a lotus holder embellished with a skull head, representing purity and spiritual enlightenment amongst the impermanence of existence. This Phurba is an important ritual item that promotes protection, transformation, and the eventual attainment of wisdom.
Introduction To The Tibet Ritual Dragger :
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 meaning 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.
