[2] Creating a Phurba Stand?

[Guest guest]

Dear Aditya,

 

This is all so very new to me. Thank you for this information. It

is much appreciated. :-)

 

Yours,

Most advanced practitioners I know, i.e. Masters & Lamas, merely lay

them on the altar when they are not using them. What purpose would a

stand serve? To make it into a murti to be worshipped instead of using

it?

 

If you must make a stand, you would do well to remember that the

origin of the phurba, used along with the khatvanga, was with

wandering nomads in Tibet. The khatvanga found use as a central tent

pole, and the phurba were used as tent pegs. So I would recommend a

flower pot with some soil as a stand.

 

Regards,

 

Aditya
