About Our Ritual Item:
This handcrafted Tibetan Ritual Cup, also known as a Kapala set, is a meticulously constructed Tibetan ritual vessel, measuring 17.5 cm in height and 9.5 cm in breadth, and weighing 0.28 kg. Made of copper, it has a superb gold and silver coating that emphasizes its religious nature. This skull cup is a vital instrument in Vajrayana Buddhist rites and meditation practices, representing transformation and spiritual wisdom. It is regarded as a powerful spiritual tool for offerings and invocations.
Crafted with meticulous craftsmanship, the Kapala's delicate work and rich patterns demonstrate the artists' passion and talent in creating each piece. The harmonic combination of gold and silver plating not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also increases its spiritual power. This vase embodies the union of craftsmanship and religious heritage, making it a distinctive piece for both Buddhist practitioners and collectors.
The Kapala symbolizes impermanence and the transcendence of worldly illusions. This ritual vessel, traditionally formed of human skulls, serves as a reminder of the ephemeral nature of life and the impending death, encouraging practitioners to acquire wisdom and compassion. It is used in rituals to commemorate wrathful protectors and deities, evoking their ability to overcome ignorance and impediments. The Kapala is thus a powerful symbol of spiritual transformation and enlightenment in Vajrayana Buddhism.
Introduction To The Kapala :
The Kapala set holds the nectar used in higher esoteric rituals. It offers liberation to gods and deities to ensure their devotion. The offerings are said to be transformed into the Wisdom Nectar, a liquid form of the deity's Enlightened Mind.
