About Our Ritual Item :
The Traditional Handcrafted Silver Kapala Skull Cup Set is a painstakingly created ritual artifact comprised of 95% copper and 5% silver. This sacred cup, called as a Kapala, is a vital part of Tibetan Buddhist rituals, representing the transformation of negative energies into wisdom and enlightened. It was created with care and accuracy, representing the rich legacy of Tibetan craftsmanship.
With dimensions of 15.5 cm in height and 10 cm in width, and a weight of 0.280 kg, this Kapala is both reliable and elegantly sized for ritual usage or spiritual display. The skull-shaped cup is beautifully crafted, symbolizing the impermanence of life, a major concept in Buddhist teaching. The use of copper and silver not only increases longevity, but it also heightens its spiritual value by combining traditional elements with deep symbolism.
The Kapala is frequently used in tantric activities, notably for offerings, and represents the mind and its purification. This handcrafted sculpture is a stunning example of religious art, embodying profound spiritual meaning and acting as a potent instrument in Buddhist ceremonies for both practitioners and collectors. Its delicate silver embellishments accentuate the expertise and care that went into its design, making it an excellent complement to any religious area.
Introduction To The Kapala Set :
The skull cup, known as Kapala in Sanskrit, is fashioned from the oval upper section of a human cranium. It serves as a libation vessel for a vast number of Vajrayana deities, mostly wrathful. As a ritual implement, the selection of the right skull is of immense importance for the success of the ritual. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Kapala or Skull Bowl is used ritually in a number of ways. For example, the Lama may use it as an offering bowl on the altar, filled with wine or blood as a gift to the Yidam Deity or all the Deities in the Mandala. Through the force of the practice of tantric visualizations based in deep philosophical study and meditation, a sort of transubstantiation will occur, and the wine or blood will be transformed into the Wisdom Nectar, a liquid form of the Enlightened Mind of the Deity or all of the Deities in the Celestial Palace of the Mandala.
