Small Bone Phurba

About our ritual item

This Small Phurba is hand-carved from ethically sourced Buffalo Bone. This Phurba is modeled after Mahakala, a Buddhist deity who is both a wrathful deity and a protector. The intricate carvings on the bone depict the deity's ferocious appearance as well as the three-sided blade symbolically used for slaying negative energies and obstacles. The Phurba is a ritual dagger that is used in tantric practices. Because of its small size, it is easy to transport and use in personal spiritual practices, as well as as a decorative item for those interested in Buddhist art and culture.

Introduction To Phurba :

The ritual dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: Phurba) is essential to dispelling evil and is understood to be especially helpful in neutralizing the forces that impede Tantric Buddhist practice. Its origins are ancient, appearing in the Indian Rg Veda as the central blade of the vajra that Indra used to slay the primordial cosmic snake Vritra. Its Sanskrit term, Kila, which means peg or stake, was probably linked to Vedic sacrifices. The three-headed Vajrakila Buddha is invoked through meditation on the Vajrakila Tantr, an early Indian text first propagated in Tibet in the eighth century by Padmasambhava, one of the founding masters of Tibetan Buddhism.

    I received the thangka very quickly in beautiful condition. It was very carefully wrapped in multiple protective layers, many thanks to Enlightenment Thangka for their care. The thangka itself is beautifully done, printed on canvas with meticulous attention to detail. Very much looking forward to getting it framed and on the wall!

    I had a wonderful experience buying a Thangka from Enlightenment Thangka. The quality of their products is top-notch, delivery was quick, the staff were very friendly, and the packaging was excellent. I highly recommend them and am already looking forward to placing my next order.

    Such a beautiful thangka. It carries many blessings. The image itself is masterfully painted with great devotion. The brochade fabric quality is incredibly high and it is sewn with great skill and care. The thangka on the left was also purchased from “Enlightenment Thangka” a couple of years ago and it is also of this same high quality as the Guru Rinpoche in the right. I cannot recommend these people enough. Beautiful devoted work.

    Is a long waiting lesson I’ve been looking forward. For someone totally new, this is really an amazing experience to explore your hidden talent in Thangka drawing. I’m grateful the Enlightenment Thangka team’s great coordination to make this happened, the Thangka master, Nyam la that patiently guided me through my journey. He was very patience to explain every single line during the lesson, he puts things in a very simple way, never rush on me. Yet, he spent time to looking into my drawing upon my submission. He also sending back his feedback in details to further guiding me to perfect the drawing line.

    The master and team encouragements truly keeping my momentum to perfecting my drawing. This amazing journey had let me experiencing my inner peace, the hidden talent I’ve never knew, part of my spiritual journey. I will definitely will keep continuing my journey with them in future to fulfill my dream.

    Sharing my in progress Thangka artwork. ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ། 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Very nice and warm shopping experience. The statue is firmly packed and protected during transport. Looking forward to my next order!

    Although Tangton Gyalpo is a major Lama, it is not easy to find tankhas depicting him. This one is just perfect.

    Excellent service and beautiful products!

    Magnifique Thangka ! Un excellent support pour ma pratique, cette thangka est très inspirante. Les dimensions impressionnante 2,40m x 1,60 donnent beaucoup force à l'ensemble !
    Service client au top et livraison super rapide ! Merci !

    It arrived today and exceeded all expectations. It's perfect!

    Quality brocade. Intricate design and mounted well. This silk weave has the heavier, sturdier, “rougher” feel to it than its smoother, shinier sibling.

    Personally, this experience has been a memorable one as I've got to learn from an actual thangka master and teacher himself. The entire three day experience has been nothing short of mesmerizing and sacred. If your intuition is calling you to pursue this, please do not pass off this special opportunity to learn from the one of the sources of authentic thangka painting for this experience is a heartwarming one.

    Amazingly beautiful brocade!

    very beautiful and made of quality material.

    Beautiful thangka...you did a good job, you have to see it to believe it.
    The delicate lines, the refreshing colors are just incredible. A thangka that represents us corresponds to the name of the refuge that a very GREAT master gave us

    Hi Neelam,
    Thank you for the email AND I apologize as the Thanka has not arrived yet! Looks like it is in Bahrain waiting to move or has already left Bahrain and is headed to SF. Will let you know when it is delivered!
    all blessings,

    Beautiful, high-quality print, at a modest price, free and fast delivery. Kind of perfect, overall. Thank you!
