The phurba (kila) is a tripartite-edged ritual dagger utilized in Tibetan Buddhism and Tantric practices to sever the three poisons—ignorance, desire, and aversion. It is a way to control demonic entities, establish sacred space, and remove spiritual obstacles. The wrathful deity depicted atop, often representing Vajrakilaya, functions as a protector utilizing the phurba to eradicate internal and external negativity. The vajra motifs symbolize the potency of unbreakable spiritual truth across the dimensions of body, speech, and mind.
This bronze phurba serves as a potent spiritual instrument, suitable for ritual ceremonies, energy healing, and meditation practices. It should be positioned on an altar to stabilize and consecrate sacred space or held during practices to enhance focus and ground spiritual energies. It is particularly suitable for advanced practitioners, ceremonial leaders, and discerning collectors who seek a meaningful connection to Vajrayana Buddhist rituals and the Himalayan spiritual tradition.
Introduction To The Phurba :
The ceremonial dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: phurba) is essential for expelling evil and is considered particularly effective in neutralizing the forces obstructing Tantric Buddhist practice. It has ancient origins, first appearing in the Indian Rig Veda as the core blade of the vajra used by Indra to destroy the primordial cosmic snake Vritra. Kila, derived from 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.
