Introduction to Ritual Dagger
The Kartika is a ceremonial Buddhist ritual tool shaped like a crescent knife or chopper, topped with a vajra that acts as a handle for the blade. It symbolizes the severance of all material and worldly bonds, while the vajra represents the destruction of ignorance, thus clearing the path to enlightenment.
While the Kartika is used in several Buddhist ceremonies, it is particularly important in the Tibetan practice of Chöd a ritual involving a form of self-sacrifice whereby the practitioner visualizes their own body as the offering in the form of a tantric feast. The Kartika is also famously used in the Tibetan sky burial ritual. The deceased are cut into small pieces and left for the vultures to consume on top of special gats or burial platforms. Interestingly, Kartika is also utilized in the practice of Feng Shui.
