Buddhist Brass Kapala
About Our Ritual Item :
The Buddhist Brass Kapala, created from rusted brass, exemplifies both spiritual reverence and excellent craftsmanship. With a height of 12.5cm, this sacred vase holds profound symbolism in Tibetan Buddhism, embodying the transformative power of wisdom and compassion.
The Brass Kapala, crafted with careful attention to detail, serves as a focal point for ritual offerings and spiritual rituals. Its oxidized brass structure lends an air of age and intrigue, and its small size makes it suitable for personal altars or holy locations. Whether utilized ritualistically or decoratively, this kapala reflects Tibetan Buddhism's rich spiritual tradition, enabling practitioners to develop their connection to the holy and explore the depths of their own consciousness.
Introduction To The Kapala Set :
The skull cup, known as Kapala in Sanskrit, is fashioned from the oval upper section of a human cranium. It serves as a libation vessel for a vast number of Vajrayana deities, mostly wrathful. As a ritual implement, the selection of the right skull is of immense importance for the success of the ritual. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Kapala or Skull Bowl is used ritually in several ways. For example, the Lama may use it as an offering bowl on the altar, filled with wine or blood as a gift to the Yidam Deity or all the Deities in the Mandala. Through the force of the practice of tantric visualizations based in the deep philosophical study and meditation, a sort of transubstantiation will occur, and the wine or blood will be transformed into the Wisdom Nectar, a liquid form of the Enlightened Mind of the Deity or all of the Deities in the Celestial Palace of the Mandala.
