Phurba Ritual Dagger ~ Tiger Eye

A lovely little ritual Phurba carved from Tiger Eye.

Tiger’s Eye is a powerful, grounding, and protective stone known for balancing, enhancing confidence, and fostering mental clarity. It combines solar and earth energies to boost willpower, courage, and focus, while historically acting as a talisman against evil, curses, and for bringing good fortune.

A phurba (or phurpa, kila) is a Tibetan ritual dagger or three-sided peg used in Vajrayana Buddhism and Bön traditions to pin down or transform negative energies and obstacles, symbolizing the cutting through ignorance, attachment, and delusion to achieve spiritual progress and purification. It's not a weapon for physical harm but a powerful ceremonial tool representing wrathful compassion and the Vajrakilaya deity, often used to consecrate space or pin negative forces into the earth.
