About The Ritual Item :
Enhance your spiritual space with this Handcrafted Copper Iron Phurba Dagger, an honored Vajrakilaya ritual instrument used in Tibetan Buddhism to ward off evil energies. This finely crafted dagger represents the wrathful deity Vajrakilaya, a powerful guardian known for removing both internal and external obstacles. The phurba is more than just an object; it is a potent energy weapon utilized in Vajrayana practice to ground, focus, and purify during meditation and ceremony.
This 29 cm-long phurba is expertly made from copper and iron, representing the combination of method and knowledge. The handle portrays a powerful god finished with skulls and hands raised in prayer, symbolizing protection and adoration. The triple-bladed iron point is used symbolically to capture and alter negative energies. This piece is perfect for practitioners, healers, and collectors of sacred Himalayan ritual appliqués, adding authenticity, power, and spiritual depth to your shrine or meditation practice.
Introduction To The Phurba :
The ceremonial dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: phurba) is essential 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 Rig 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.
