A ritual incense burner cast in the form of a kapala — the ceremonial skull cup of Tibetan tantric Buddhism. In the Chöd practice and in the offerings to the Dakinis and Citipati (Lords of the Cemetery), the skull is not a memento mori of horror but a profound symbol: shunyata, the emptiness that underlies all appearance. To meditate on the skull is to see through the illusion of a solid self — the very insight that liberates.
