Sacred Phurba Ritual Tool | Ritual Tool with Symbolic Design
About The Ritual Item :
This Sacred Phurba Ritual Tool (ritual dagger), made from responsibly sourced buffalo bone, is a powerful symbol of spiritual change and protection. Standing 50 cm tall and 13 cm wide, its exquisite design expresses the spirit of Buddhist teaching. The triangular, three-sided sword represents the removal of ignorance, attachment, and aversion, the three poisons that prevent enlightenment. Its sharp edges represent the ability to cut through illusions and eliminate negativity, yet the bone material reminds practitioners of impermanence and the cycle of life and death.
The handle is adorned with skulls and wrathful faces, with each element carrying deep symbolic value. The skulls indicate the inevitability of death and the change of ego into wisdom, but the wrathful faces evoke fierce compassion, protecting followers against destructive energies. The Phurba is crowned with a vajra motif, which represents clarity and spiritual strength, while the base has exquisite lotus and mandala designs, which ground the piece in purity and sacred purpose. This Phurba, whether used ceremonially or displayed as a sacred artifact, is an effective instrument for channeling energy, expelling negativity, and accepting the divine.
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.
