Introduction of Kapala

The Kapala is a sacred ritual implement in Tibetan Buddhism, crafted from the oval upper section of human skulls. It functions as a libation vase for various deities, typically filled with wine, blood, or butter. During elaborate rituals, the Kapala is employed in offerings to appease wrathful deities, thereby ensuring their benevolence. Additionally, it finds application in esoteric Tantric rites, serving as a potent meditational aid for adepts.
