The central vajra handle represents indestructible power. It is an essential tool for Vajrayana practitioners, providing both symbolic potency and practical spiritual utility.

The three-sided blade, adorned with elaborate decorations, reflects the cutting through of ignorance, desire, and hatred, deity at the top signifies wisdom and enlightenment. This Phurba, which is used in Tantric rituals, meditation, and spiritual protection, is more than just an item; it is an energy tool for transformation and protection from negative forces.

Introduction to Phurba:

Ritual tools are vital equipment of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism practice, meant to dispel misconceptions obstructing enlightenment. The phurba (Sanskrit: Kila) blade seen here was created to symbolically swallow the three poisons that obstruct spiritual progress: ignorance, greed, and illusion. The Phurba is the physical manifestation of the Vajrakila Buddha, who has the ability to destroy all evil on the earth. Its ceremonial usage is first recorded in the Vajrakilaya Tantra, an eighth-century or older Vajrayana work.
