A phurpa, sometimes called a "magic dagger", is a tantric ritual object used to conquer evil spirits and to destroy obstacles. It is utilized in magic rituals by high level tantric practitioners. The triple blade of the phurpa symbolizes the overcoming or cutting through of the three root poisons of ignorance, desire, and hatred, and also represents control over the three times of past, present and future. The triangular shape represents the element of fire and symbolizes wrathful activity. The tenacious grip of the makara-head at the top of the blade represents its ferocious activity. When using the phurpa, the practitioner first meditates, then recites the sadhana of the phurpa, and then invites the deity to enter the phurpa. As he does so, the practitioner visualizes that he is frightening and conquering the evil spirits by placing the evil under the point of the phurpa. Or sometimes the practitioner visualizes throwing the phurpa in order to impale and subdue the spirits. The success will depend on the practitioner's spirituality, concentration, motivation, and his karmic connections with the deity of the phurpa and the evil spirits. Mahakala, “Lord of the Tent”, is one of the most revered Tibetan protector deities. He is worshipped as a protector of the entire realm as well as a personal tutelary deity. Well represented and revered in all orders of Tantric Tibetan Buddhism, Mahakala is especially popular with the Sakyaorder. In his most common form he is believed to be the fierce manifestation of the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara who plays a prominent role in Tibetan Buddhism, andwas the tutelary deity of the Mongolian ruler Kublai Khan. Mahakala is a Dharmapala,a protector of religious law. He is always depicted as an extremely fierce and terrifying deity. His purpose is to help in over coming negative obstacles on the path to enlightenment. A compassionate wrathful deity, he appears evil, like a demon, but functions more likea guard dog, or guardian angel. (Sergent) His aggression is necessary, for it allows him to demolish obstacles and negativities one faces on thepath to enlightenment. Mahakala is depicted in a variety of differentways, sometimes with six arms, other times with two. He is often brown skinned and associated in tank as with Penden Lhamo. Dimension   NO.
