What Is A Phurba?
A Phurba is a triple sided Tibetan ritual dagger. A Tibetan Phurba (pronounced pur-ba) or alternatively called Kīla, Phurpa, Phurbu, Purbha, or Phurpu is associated with the meditational deity Vajrakīla in Tibetan mysticism, a fully enlightened being who is the focus of personal meditation. A Phurba is usually considered a knife with three distinct segments, one of which is a characteristic three sided blade or point. The segments and the triple blade represent the three spirit worlds, while the Phurba as a whole symbolizes the "worlds axis" bringing all the worlds together.
What Makes A Phurba Work?
The magic of the Phurba comes from the effect that the material object has on the realm of the spirit. The art of spiritual users lies in their visionary ability to comprehend the spiritual energy of the material object and to willfully focus it in a determined direction. The uses of the Phurba encompass the curing of disease, exorcism, killing demons, releasing spirits, meditation, consecrations (puja), and weather-making.
What Are The Uses Of A Phurba?
The Phurba in essence is a ritual dagger and is not meant to actually hurt in any way a sentient living being, the blade is not sharp. It is used against evil spirits by the practitioner.
The idea is to release a spirit out of its suffering and thereby guide it to a better rebirth. A spirit "ghost" is a non physical being which lingers in confusion between different realms. By plunging the dagger in the spirit "ghost", it will be thrown out of its confusion and thus gets the chance to be reborn; probably in a lower realm than human kind.
A Phurba is also used as a means of destroying violence, hatred, and aggression by tying them to the blade of the Phurba and then vanquishing them with its tip. The Phurba is used in the ritual slaying of negative emotions, such as anger. It is regarded as possessing magical powers, and is an essential artifact used in sacred dances. A Phurba was traditionally for the use of hunting down demons.
The Phurba ceremonial dagger is also a central ritual tool for all shamanic rituals - so central, in fact, that its use is rarely specified but simply presumed.
Phurbas in Buddhist ceremonies are used to exorcise demons or as a spiritual nail to pin down the distractions of greed, desire, envy. The sides of the Phurba destroy the three poisons: attachment, aversion, and delusion.
Phurbas are used to pin down restless energy and create a stable "protected" and thus "hallowed ground." it is often used in tantric ceremonies to initiate a protective circle by establishing a boundary of Phurba stakes placed into the earth and connected by a thread.
How Are Phurbas Linked With The Dorje And Varja?
The Phurba is also directly related to Dorje Phurba or Vajrakilla, a wrathful deity of Tibetan Buddhism who is often seen with his consort Dorje Phagmo or Vajra Varahi. He is embodied in the Phurba as a means of destroying violence, hatred, and aggression by tying them to the blade of the Phurba and then vanquishing them with its tip.
Phurbas are not physical weapons, but spiritual implements, and should be treated as such.
Why Use Quartz Crystals?
The Quartz Crystals these Phurbas are carved from are Power Stones. They are called "universal crystals" because of their many uses. Quartz Crystals enhance energy by absorbing, storing, amplifying, balancing, focusing and transmitting only positive energy. Quartz Crystals channel the universes energy. They help direct and amplifies one's energy. This makes them particularly good for programming purposes.
I also include a velvet with satin pouch for every order. Why?
Because everything has its own magic or energy. And protecting your crystals to outside energies is very important.
To prevent this I have included a protective pouch especially designed for your crystals. It is designed to reflect outside energies away from the crystal and prevent it from absorbing any outside forces and from giving off its own programming. Protecting your crystal's programming will prevent you from being influenced by other programming that is not what you currently want or need.
It is also designed to gently protect it from dust and outside pollution. This velvet with satin pouch will be included for you with every order.
Don't forget to take your crystal with you. Spend time each day with it, asking its energies to be transferred to you. Depending on its purpose, and fragility, you may wish to place it by your side, wear the crystal, or carry it in your pocket.
