Original Hand-painted Vajrakilaya/ Phurbakilaya/ Dorje Phurba Oil Varnished Black N Gold Tibetan Thangka Painting with Silk Brocade

This oil-varnished Black and Gold Vajrakilaya/Phurbakilaya Tibetan thangka is painted on special handmade cotton canvas using a black and gold color scheme. It invites you to enter the divine realm of Vajrakilaya, the wrathful Tantric meditation deity esteemed by practitioners of the Nyingma order. The profound practices associated with Vajrakilaya are potent means of dispelling obstacles, eliminating hostile forces, and purifying the spiritual path. This deity embodies the enlightened activities of all Buddhas, wielding the ritual phurba dagger as a symbol of unwavering wisdom, piercing through the veil of emptiness with focused concentration.

Initially transmitted by Guru Padmasambhava to his "heart disciples," the Varjakilaya Tantra teachings were bestowed to eliminate hindrances to the propagation of Buddhadharma in Tibet. Vajrakilaya manifests with three heads, six arms, and four legs. His primary hands cradle his consort, Khorlo Gyedunma, and brandish the magic phurba dagger. The lower blade signifies skillful means, while the upper handle embodies wisdom. The tri-edged blade symbolically severs the root delusions of hatred, ignorance, and desirous attachment, embracing the realization of emptiness.

Vajrakilaya's right hand grasps five- and nine-pronged vajras, showcasing his indestructible power. The left-hand holds a flaming triple wish-fulfilling jewel and a trident, symbolizing the abandonment of delusions in the three realms. Adorned with elephant skin across his back, Vajrakilaya signifies the renunciation of self-grasping ignorance, while the diagonal human skin reflects the conquest of self-cherishing ego. A tiger-skin loincloth denotes the abandonment of hatred, and a necklace of severed human heads represents the transcendence of ordinary appearances and conceptions.

Embraced passionately by Vajrakilaya, his consort Khorlo Gyedunma dons a crown adorned with five human skulls, symbolizing the purification of the five aggregates. Holding a skullcup filled with the blood of the four maras, she signifies the experience of the clear light of bliss and the triumph over uncontrolled death. Together, they stand in the warrior's pose, surrounded by the blazing fire of exalted wisdom, annihilating delusions and consuming neurotic states. Venture into the profound symbolism and spiritual essence embodied by Vajrakilaya and Khorlo Gyedunma in this remarkable depiction.
