Tibetan Ritual Phurba
About The Ritual Item :
In Tibetan Buddhism, the ceremonial dagger, or phurba, is a sacred weapon that is frequently used in ceremonies to drive out obstructions and bad energy. This specific Phurba has an aged, genuine appearance because it is made of iron and has an antique finish. A half Vajra, a representation of spiritual strength and immortality, sits atop the dagger. The detailed depiction of a furious god, symbolizing protection and the transmutation of evil forces, is located directly beneath the Vajra. The Phurba's base is shaped like a triangle blade, representing the removal of delusion and ignorance.
This Phurba is compact yet wonderfully detailed, measuring 14 cm in height by 2 cm in width and weighing 0.16 kilogram. The dagger's spiritual significance is highlighted by the elaborate Buddhist artwork on its grip and blade, which elevates it from a ceremonial object to an artistic creation. Its design, which has its roots in Tibetan spiritual practices, is a significant addition to any sacred space or collection, symbolizing the ability to conquer both inner and external difficulties.
Introduction To The Phurba :
The ceremonial dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: phurba) is important for the expelling of evil and is thought to be especially effective in neutralizing the forces that obstruct Tantric Buddhist practice. It has ancient origins, first appearing in the Indian Rg Veda as the core blade of the vajra used by Indra to destroy the primordial cosmic snake Vritra. Kila, which meaning peg or stake in 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.
