Yachen Gar Mini Meteorite Phurba Kilaya

Yachen Gar Mini Meteorite Phurba Kilaya Pendant - Crafted with Meteorite and a Five-Metal Blend, a Tibetan Dagger Talisman for Protection Dedicated to Vajrakilaya

This Phurba is designed and commissioned by Yachen Gar in Kham. The details on this Phurba are crafted with precision according to Buddhist tantra. Made with meteorite and a blend of five metals (gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin), it draws from the practices of Larung Gar, Yachen Gar, Palyul Monastery, Shechen Monastery, and Dzogchen Monastery in Kham. Blessed and consecrated during an empowerment ritual in Yachen Gar with the Vajra master and thousands of monks and practitioners, this Phurba can be worn as a pendant, carried in a handbag as a traditional symbol of protection, or used as a support for practitioners.

Phurba, known in Sanskrit as kilaya, is a ritual dagger with a three-edged blade, like the one held by the deity Vajrakilaya. Vajrakilaya is a wrathful yidam deity embodying the enlightened activity of all the buddhas. His practice is traditionally associated with removing obstacles and purifying obscurations.

Yachen Gar, also known as Yachen Orgyen Samten Choling, was founded by Akhyuk Rinpoche in 1980. With over 10,000 Sangha members, it is one of the largest gatherings of nuns and monks in the world.
