About The Ritual Item :
Embrace yourself in the potent energy of this Handcrafted Three-Faced Iron Phurba, a sacred tantric ceremonial dagger used in Vajrayana Buddhist ceremonies. This Phurba is 38 cm tall, 6 cm wide, and weighs 1.35 kg. It is made of iron, symbolizing an indestructible spiritual force. The wrathful three-faced deity carved at the top represents the transmutation of the three poisons: ignorance, attachment, and hatred. With its dominating design and excellent craftsmanship, this is an effective altar piece for spiritual protection and energetic purification.
The Phurba revolves around a Dorje (Vajra) handle, which represents the union of compassion and knowledge. Below it, the triple-bladed naga (serpent) blade spirals with energy, a traditional pattern thought to bind and pin down obstacles, demons, and negative energies. This dagger's sheer weight and iron composition make it more than just symbolic; it is also energetically grounding, serving as an accurate ritual instrument for serious practitioners, ceremonial leaders, and ardent collectors of Tibetan antiques.
This three-faced iron Phurba can be utilized for meditation, tantric offerings, or as a centerpiece on your altar. It channels protection, precision, and spiritual development. Its symbolism is particularly meaningful to Vajrakilaya practitioners, who invoke the Phurba to cut through delusion and establish clarity. For those seeking authentic Tibetan Buddhist ritual instruments, this handcrafted Vajrayana dagger represents a profound connection to generations of Himalayan spiritual heritage.
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.
