The Phurba, also known as the Kila in Sanskrit, is a powerful ritual implement in Vajrayana Buddhism, symbolizing the enlightened wrath that "cuts through aggression" and liberates beings from the afflictive emotions that bind them to suffering. Originally used in non-Buddhist sacrificial rites, the Phurba in Tantric Buddhism represents the indomitable power of the enlightened mind, wielded to destroy ignorance and obstacles.
