Tibetan Ceremonial Dagger
About Our Ritual Item :
It is made of brass, a material believed to represent strength and flexibility, which are seen as necessary qualities for overcoming obstacles and making spiritual progress. The phurba is a three-sided ritual dagger, and its design symbolizes the transformation of ignorance into wisdom. In Tibetan Buddhist practice, the phurba is highly regarded and often depicted in artwork and used in various rituals and ceremonies. The brass phurba is considered to have the power to nail down or pin down spirits or negative forces and release bound spirits and energy. It is also believed to be a tool for cutting through obstacles and ignorance, representing the path to enlightenment.
Introduction To The Buddhist Ritual Dragger :
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.
