Phurba, known as Kila in Sanskrit, symbolizes the destruction of obstacles and negativity. Originating from ancient Vedic traditions, it has been revered as a powerful spiritual tool, capable of neutralizing forces that hinder one's path to enlightenment. Its three-sided blade represents the eradication of ignorance, desire, and hatred—key barriers to spiritual growth. At the top, the carved deity invokes the Vajrakila Buddha, a divine figure in Tibetan Buddhism known for vanquishing evil and guiding practitioners toward liberation.
Introduction To The Phurba :
The ceremonial dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: phurba) is important for expelling 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, 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.
