AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A phurba (also called kīla or phurpa) is a ritual three-sided dagger-like object that is central in Tibetan Buddhism, especially in the Vajrayana tradition.
Form and symbolism:
The phurba has a characteristic three-edged blade that symbolizes three aspects: overcoming the three poisons (attachment, aversion and ignorance)
The point symbolizes the axis mundi - the connection between heaven and earth
Ritual use:
Used in tantric rituals to pin down or neutralize negative powers
Serves as a protective object against obstacles and malevolent influences
Plays a role in initiation rituals and meditation practices
Often driven into the ground or used symbolically to create a sacred space
The phurba is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
Very finely detailed.
Is carefully packed and insured for shipping.
This item can be shipped together with other items of mine in this auction so you only pay the shipping costs once.
