About The Ritual Item :
This Himalayan Handmade Three-Sided Dagger, known as a Phurba, is a sacred ritual tool used in Tibetan Vajrayana practices for protection, grounding, and spiritual clarity. Measuring 22.5cm in height and handcrafted from zinc, this dagger is carefully adorned with acrylic color details that enhance its spiritual symbolism. Lightweight at 0.31kg, it’s ideal for altar placement, ritual use, or symbolic display.
The three-bladed design represents the transmutation of the three poisons—ignorance, attachment, and aversion—into wisdom. Used by monks, shamans, and advanced practitioners, the Phurba is believed to cut through negative energies, dispel spiritual obstacles, and anchor sacred space. This intricately crafted piece reflects authentic Himalayan artistry and is a valuable addition to any tantric toolkit or personal meditation shrine.
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.
