It is the sharp point of wisdom fixed immobile onto goodness by the power of one-pointed concentration.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Phurba, like a magic wand, is a protective symbol and is used in Buddhism to ward off negative influences.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is used to ward off demonic forces - meaning demons, diseases, psychic forces. In Tibetan rituals, the shape of a demon is formed from fruits. There is purification through prayer, protection through putting on a ritual robe, invocation of the protective deities. Then follows a longer ritual in which mantras are spoken again and again and finally the Phurba is pushed into the fruit figure while calling out a \"completion mantra\". Fruits are used because fruits are carriers of life and can therefore absorb demonic forces on behalf of other life (e.g. the person seeking help).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHand carved for Himalayan region of Tibet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ework of art. if you collected fine art it is one of them..\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenzing Collections","offers":[{"title":"Phurba Antique look","offer_id":47982085406932,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Phurba white look","offer_id":47982085439700,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Phurba Antique white","offer_id":47982085472468,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/6270\/9716\/files\/il_fullxfull.7912753206_9ke3.jpg?v=1779686451","url":"https:\/\/www.tenzingcollections.com\/products\/phurba-tibetan-yak-bone-hand-carved","provider":"Tenzing Collections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
