Brass Meditation Phurba, a Tibetan Buddhist Ritual Instrument

The Magic Ritual Dagger

The Phurba, also known as the 'Magic Dagger', is used in Buddhist rituals to transform negative energies. These energies are known as the 'three poisons', which are attachment, ignorance and, aversion. The three sides also represent the three spirit worlds, while the phurba itself represents the axis of these three spirit worlds. This power of the phurba unites the three spirit worlds.
