The Phurpa, often referred to as a dagger, carries profound symbolism in its design, serving as a symbolic tool to metaphorically devour the hindrances of spiritual progress. It personifies Vajrakila Buddha, possessing the divine authority to quell malevolence throughout the world.
This sacred instrument is rich in symbolism: its lower blade signifies "skilful means" or method, while its upper handle embodies wisdom. The triple-edged blade serves as a potent emblem, signifying the severance of the three foundational poisons – ignorance, greed, and aggression. Its fiery triangular shape and vajra essence represent the profound realization of emptiness, akin to the vajra-wrath, which fiercely consumes and slices through the bonds of hatred and negativity.
