About The Ritual Item:

This 29cm Phurba, made of oxidized copper, is a powerful ceremonial dagger in Tibetan Vajrayana traditions. Symbolizing the wrathful god Vajrakilaya, it is thought to remove negative energy, eliminate obstructions, and provide spiritual protection during meditation or sacred ceremonial activities.

The dagger, intricately carved with strong features, reflects Vajrakilaya's energy and compassion while functioning as a sacred spiritual weapon. Whether employed in Tantric ceremonies, on an altar, or as a symbolic item, this Phurba adds richness and significance to any sacred space.

Introduction To The Phurba:

The 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 Rg 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.
