About Our Ritual Item :

This handcrafted Silver Kapala, 19 cm tall and 11 cm wide, is a revered Tibetan Buddhist treasure made of 40 Tola (0.468 kg) of pure silver. The Kapala, or ritual skull cup, has a profound religious significance, representing impermanence, transformation, and the ultimate wisdom of enlightenment. This spiritually charged relic, which is used in esoteric Buddhist ceremonies, is crucial for practitioners seeking spiritual purification, offerings, and deeper meditative insights. The polished silver surface and intricate carvings heighten its ritualistic significance, making it an ideal addition to Buddhist altars, meditation rooms, and sacred shrines.

The Kapala is embellished with elaborate engravings and symbolic designs that depict sacred Buddhist teachings. It has a vajra-topped lid, representing the indestructibility of enlightenment, and ornate base embellishments that mimic the auspicious components of Tibetan Buddhist imagery. The artistically sculpted patterns represent the artists' devotion, ensuring that every detail is consistent with traditional Buddhist craftsmanship. This ritual Kapala serves as both a ceremonial object and a spiritual instrument, letting practitioners offer sacred liquids, grains, and other ritual substances to deities during tantric rites.

In Vajrayana Buddhism, the Kapala is an important part of empowerment rites and higher esoteric practices. It is thought that the offerings in the Kapala are turned into the Wisdom Nectar, a divine elixir that cleanses karma and bestows blessings on the practitioner. The skull cup symbolizes the cycle of life, death, and reincarnation, encouraging meditators to let go of material attachments and follow the path of enlightenment. This Silver Kapala, whether used for meditation, ritual activities, or as a sacred display, strengthens spiritual commitment, mindfulness, and ceremonial connection.

Introduction To The Kapala Set :

The Kapala set holds the nectar used for performing higher esoteric rituals. It offers liberation to gods and deities to ensure their devotion. It is said that the offerings will be transformed into the Wisdom Nectar, a liquid form of the Enlightened Mind of the Deity.

    I received the thangka very quickly in beautiful condition. It was very carefully wrapped in multiple protective layers, many thanks to Enlightenment Thangka for their care. The thangka itself is beautifully done, printed on canvas with meticulous attention to detail. Very much looking forward to getting it framed and on the wall!

    I had a wonderful experience buying a Thangka from Enlightenment Thangka. The quality of their products is top-notch, delivery was quick, the staff were very friendly, and the packaging was excellent. I highly recommend them and am already looking forward to placing my next order.

    Such a beautiful thangka. It carries many blessings. The image itself is masterfully painted with great devotion. The brochade fabric quality is incredibly high and it is sewn with great skill and care. The thangka on the left was also purchased from “Enlightenment Thangka” a couple of years ago and it is also of this same high quality as the Guru Rinpoche in the right. I cannot recommend these people enough. Beautiful devoted work.

    Is a long waiting lesson I’ve been looking forward. For someone totally new, this is really an amazing experience to explore your hidden talent in Thangka drawing. I’m grateful the Enlightenment Thangka team’s great coordination to make this happened, the Thangka master, Nyam la that patiently guided me through my journey. He was very patience to explain every single line during the lesson, he puts things in a very simple way, never rush on me. Yet, he spent time to looking into my drawing upon my submission. He also sending back his feedback in details to further guiding me to perfect the drawing line.

    The master and team encouragements truly keeping my momentum to perfecting my drawing. This amazing journey had let me experiencing my inner peace, the hidden talent I’ve never knew, part of my spiritual journey. I will definitely will keep continuing my journey with them in future to fulfill my dream.

    Sharing my in progress Thangka artwork. ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ། 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Very nice and warm shopping experience. The statue is firmly packed and protected during transport. Looking forward to my next order!

    Although Tangton Gyalpo is a major Lama, it is not easy to find tankhas depicting him. This one is just perfect.

    Excellent service and beautiful products!

    Magnifique Thangka ! Un excellent support pour ma pratique, cette thangka est très inspirante. Les dimensions impressionnante 2,40m x 1,60 donnent beaucoup force à l'ensemble !
    Service client au top et livraison super rapide ! Merci !

    It arrived today and exceeded all expectations. It's perfect!

    Quality brocade. Intricate design and mounted well. This silk weave has the heavier, sturdier, “rougher” feel to it than its smoother, shinier sibling.

    Personally, this experience has been a memorable one as I've got to learn from an actual thangka master and teacher himself. The entire three day experience has been nothing short of mesmerizing and sacred. If your intuition is calling you to pursue this, please do not pass off this special opportunity to learn from the one of the sources of authentic thangka painting for this experience is a heartwarming one.

    Amazingly beautiful brocade!

    very beautiful and made of quality material.

    Beautiful thangka...you did a good job, you have to see it to believe it.
    The delicate lines, the refreshing colors are just incredible. A thangka that represents us corresponds to the name of the refuge that a very GREAT master gave us

    Amizing

    Hi Neelam,
    Thank you for the email AND I apologize as the Thanka has not arrived yet! Looks like it is in Bahrain waiting to move or has already left Bahrain and is headed to SF. Will let you know when it is delivered!
    all blessings,
    louise venetucci

    Beautiful, high-quality print, at a modest price, free and fast delivery. Kind of perfect, overall. Thank you!

    This Yeshe Tsogyal Thangka is absolutely gorgeous ... I couldn't be happier! ... Thank you for all of your efforts on my behalf and the meticulous attention to detail in finishing this beautiful piece.

    Absolutely Beautiful
