Buddhist Antique Resin Mahakala Phurba

The Phurba is used to cover evil spirits and to cashier them from people or places. It’s also used to compel evil spirits so they can be destroyed. The Phurba is a memorial that we’re all connected, that we should act with compassion and kindness towards all beings, that Buddha is always with us, and that we can always turn to him for guidance and support.

Mahakala is a deity common to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. According to Hinduism, Mahakala is a manifestation of Shiva, the consort of the Hindu Goddess Kali, and most prominently appears in the Kalikula sect of Shaktism.
