Measuring 20cm in height, the piece combines a copper body with colorful crystal, coral, and turquoise accents. The aged appearance of the metal gives the object a traditional character, while the detailed fittings and decorative elements emphasize its ceremonial purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe upper section features an elaborate finial above a cylindrical handle decorated with finely worked scrolling patterns and small gemstone accents. Coral and turquoise details are arranged around the central grip, creating colorful points of contrast against the darker metal surface. Below the decorated handle, the distinctive triangular blade gives the implement its recognizable phurba form, while the overall construction reflects the detailed metalworking traditions found in Himalayan Buddhist ritual art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIn Vajrayana Buddhist practice, the phurba, or kīla, is a ritual implement associated with the transformation of obstacles and the subjugation of obstructive forces. Its three-sided form carries important symbolic meaning within tantric Buddhist practice and is used in specific ritual contexts rather than as an ordinary weapon. This handcrafted piece can be preserved for appropriate ceremonial use, displayed on a Buddhist shrine, or included in a collection of Tibetan ritual objects representing Vajrayana Buddhist heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction To The Phurba :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ceremonial dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: phurba) is essential for expelling evil and is considered especially effective in neutralizing the forces obstructing Tantric Buddhist practice. It has ancient origins, first appearing in the Indian Rig Veda as the core blade of the vajra used by Indra to destroy the primordial cosmic snake Vritra. Kila, a 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to set up your own Buddhist Shrine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind a clean, quiet, and uncluttered spot\u003cbr\u003eSet up an altar table, and cover it with an altar cloth that calls to you\u003cbr\u003ePlace your sacred item (statue, thangka, or a picture of Buddha) at the center\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EC","offers":[{"title":"20cm x 5cm","offer_id":46639240478974,"sku":"13450ECPhurba","price":564.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7214\/2590\/files\/Phurba_7ff64a70-ac52-4da8-b6a4-82aba7a14d9b.jpg?v=1745486954","url":"https:\/\/evamratna.com\/products\/tibetan-buddhist-phurba-ritual-dagger","provider":"Evamratna","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
