Tibetan Buddhist Bronze Dagger

The Tibetan Buddhist Bronze Dagger is a traditional ceremonial dagger that is used in Tibetan Buddhism for various rituals and practices. The dagger, also known as a phurba or kīla, has a distinct three-sided blade, with one end shaped like a vajra (thunderbolt) and the other shaped like a tri-pointed blade.

The phurba is considered a powerful weapon against negative energies, and is often used in rituals to purify and dispel them. It is also used in other rituals, such as blessing and consecrating objects, as well as cutting through attachments to worldly desires and negative emotions. The dagger's handle is often intricately decorated with sacred symbols, such as the Eight Auspicious Symbols, mantras, or deities, to increase its spiritual potency.

The Tibetan Buddhist Bronze Dagger is a symbol of strength, power, and spiritual protection. It is used by practitioners to connect with the energy of the deities and to clear obstacles in their spiritual path. Many practitioners carry a phurba with them for protection and to dispel negative energies.
