Tibetan silver inlaid Phurba Ritual Dagger - Protection & Transformation Tool
About The Ritual Item :
This Tibetan silver-inlaid Phurba Ritual Dagger, which is important to Vajrayana Buddhism, is a powerful equipment for transformation and protection. The phurba, with its triangular, three-sided blade, is used in rituals for cutting through the three poisons of Buddhism: ignorance, desire, and division. It is used as a symbolic weapon to control bad energies, demolish impediments, and transform evil forces into positive, spiritual energy.
The phurba, made of iron and elaborated with delicate silver inlays, has an elaborate sculpture on the handle that represents the link between the divine and earthly regions. At the top, the powerful vision of a wrathful god represents its ability to defend and overcome negativity. The lotus designs around the base highlight spiritual purity and enlightenment, while the square base provides durability and symbolizes grounding during rituals.
With a height of 27 cm and a width of 8 cm, this phurba weighs 0.97 kg and is a stunning and efficient example of spiritual workmanship. This phurba, traditionally worn by lamas or senior practitioners in meditation and ceremonial rituals, is an important symbol of wrathful compassion and protection in Tibetan Buddhism, expressing deep spiritual mastery.
Introduction To The Phurba Meditation Dagger:
The ceremonial dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: phurba) is important for the expelling of 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, which means 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.
