Measuring 15.5cm in height, 5.5cm in length, and 5.5cm in width, with a weight of 0.23 kg, this compact Vajrayana ritual object reflects traditional Himalayan craftsmanship. The combination of different metals gives the Phurba a distinctive appearance, while the carved details, ritual motifs, and decorative stand make it suitable for an altar, meditation space, or collection of Buddhist sacred objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Phurba features a wrathful protective deity face at the upper section, with a fierce expression that represents the power to overcome obstacles and negative forces. A small vajra form appears above the deity, representing spiritual strength and the indestructible nature of awakened wisdom. Below the face are detailed lotus shaped sections, symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening. These decorative forms lead down toward the three sided iron blade, whose three edges represent overcoming the three poisons of ignorance, attachment, and anger. The Phurba is placed upright on a decorated lotus base stand, which supports the ritual dagger and allows it to be displayed safely on an altar or shrine. The lotus design of the stand represents purity and spiritual growth, completing the sacred appearance of the Phurba.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Vajrayana Buddhism, the Phurba, also called a Kila, is used as a ritual symbol of protection, transformation, and the removal of obstacles. It can be placed on a Buddhist altar, shrine, meditation table, ritual space, or sacred art display. The included stand makes this ceremonial Phurba especially suitable for display while keeping the dagger supported in an upright position. Its symbolism serves as a reminder to overcome harmful habits, strengthen spiritual focus, and continue toward wisdom, peace, and enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction of Phurba\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"breadcrumbs--last text-subtext\"\u003eView More from\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/evamratna.com\/collections\/ritual-dagger-phurba-collection\" title=\"Ritual Daggers (Phurbas) Collection\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOur\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/evamratna.com\/collections\/ritual-dagger-phurba-collection\" title=\"Ritual Daggers (Phurbas) Collection\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRitual Daggers (Phurbas) Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ESU","offers":[{"title":"15.5cm x 5.5cm","offer_id":50095789048058,"sku":"27711ESUPhurba","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0442\/7218\/9604\/files\/e8a237ea-fe80-4f7c-8c6a-1eda55a804a9-copy.jpg?v=1787030105","url":"https:\/\/enlightenmentthangka.com\/products\/traditional-ceremonial-phurba","provider":"Enlightenment Thangka","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
