Driezijdige Phurba - Boeddhisme - Brons - Tibet - Eind 20e eeuw
A Phurba (also known as Kila in Sanskrit) is a three-sided ritual dagger used in Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana) and in shamanic traditions in the Himalayas.
Symbolism of the Blades: The three faces represent the destruction of the "three mental poisons": ignorance, attachment, and aversion.
Ritual Function: It is not a physical weapon to cause injury, but rather a spiritual instrument used to "immobilize" negative forces, demons, and illusions that impede the path to enlightenment.
Associated Deity: It is closely linked to Vajrakilaya, a wrathful deity who personifies the enlightened activity of removing obstacles.
Materials: They can be made of various metals (such as meteoric iron, bronze, or copper), wood, or bone.
Practical Use: In rituals, the practitioner uses the Phurba to delineate a sacred space or to "transmute" negative energies into wisdom.
