5" Small Superfine Tibetan Buddhist Phurpa | Handmade Buddhist Ritual Item

Nepalese and Tibetan Buddhism as a religious tradition gives tremendous significance to ritual objects, which are believed to hold potent energies of the divine, which are transferred and magnified in the devotee during the course of the ritual meditation. This superfine copper Phurba or Phurpa is essentially a sacred blade, a symbol of the Buddhist Vajrayana deity Vajrakila who resides in the Phurba and destroys negativity and evil energies.

The handle of the Phurba has the image of a snow lion with a third eye, who roars softly, representing the powers of a truly enlightened individual. Serpents and other creatures of Buddhist cosmology wrap the blade, infusing them with their mystical powers, making it a potent instrument for any practitioner of Tantric Buddhism.
