About The Ritual Item :
The Kila sacred ritual dagger is a finely made iron and brass sacred ritual dagger that measures 19.5 cm in height by 6.5 cm in width. It weighs 0.39 kilogram. In Bön and Vajrayana Buddhism, this Tibetan artifact has long been employed as a ritual tool. Due to its compact size, it is ideal for altar display, ceremonial use, and as a potent spiritual tool for meditation practitioners.
The Phurba symbolizes the ferocious power to overcome barriers and features a distinctive design inspired by the meditational deity Vajrakilaya, also known as Dorje Phurba. The complex handle and three-sided blade represent the transformation of spiritual energies. The wrathful three-faced god, a popular symbol of wisdom, protection, and the annihilation of negativity, is depicted at the top. Tibetan metalworking traditions and the deep ritual significance ingrained in this weapon are highlighted by the skilled carving of every detail.
The three-sided blade of the Phurba symbolizes the conversion of the three poisons—ignorance, desire, and anger—into knowledge, kindness, and compassion. It is believed to cut through spiritual barriers and ignorance, and the handle's vajra-like design represents the unbreakable truth of the Buddha's teachings. More than just a tool, this ceremonial dagger is a spiritual symbol of protection, enlightenment, and purification, highly regarded by both practitioners and collectors.
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.
