- Hello hope you enjoy today’s video about Tibetan knives and their relationship to shamanic Phurba . Your notice my periodically attending to my right arm throughout the video 😀A coulomb of thousands of tiny red fire ants 🐜 had found their way up on to my table , a little too close to my right arm , and their bites despite their tinny size literally feels like fire 🔥reminded me of sitting in a workshop in Bali with my dad Fred wilkinson 30 years ago counting out a big bag of money for craft goods while being bitten like crazy us both squirming around while the Balinese craftsman laughed impervious to the searing bites 🔥🐜🔥🤣🤣🤣😊🙏❤️
thats a wonderful collection
the third one is not a dagger, it simply does not have the dimensions or the shape to be a small sized bladed weapon. its still a utility tool. 7:28, I have in my collection such ones as well. I can confirm that it is not a blood grove for blood to drain away, its more of a tradition to put that ding there. It originates from the days when the Tibetans used to split a yak bone from between and sharpen the two halves to turn them into knives, the part that formed the insides of the bone had that characteristic dent from the hollow part of the bone where the bone marrow would be. Hence, when Tibetans started to make knives from metal, they put that dent in there to replicate their bone knives from the past.
Hi Paul what a lovely video thank you for sharing and what serendipity. I have a similar knife to the one you shared in this video. I wanted to ask you if you will be willing to part with the same I would like to buy him from you in-order to have a companion to my current knife. The knife I am referring to is the one with 1997 on its blade it is the first knife you talk about. I cannot attach an image for my knife here but i would love to send you the image and incase you could share your email if with me i will surely share the image. I am not even sure if you will write back but if you do we can chat more on some of our common interest about Shamanic rituals.
I hope you will write back ...
cheers
Hi Paul good to see a " heart " to my comment ...does that mean you will think about parting with your treasure ?? BTW have you ever been to India? you should make a trip to the mountains here and i am sure you will find it quite interesting.
Hi glad you enjoyed the video ! Yes I’m happy to sell the knife you mentioned . I’m in England at the moment based in london and all the shamanic and Tibetan knives arrived in my last shipment about a week ago . My email is paulcreativeearth@gmail.com . Your also welcome to connect on Facebook talk soon 🙏🌞
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Laura , I’m hoping to build this Chanel in to a useful resource if you have any questions ide be happy to attempt an answer
@@paulwilkinson5970 The phurba is such a fascinating subject, I've been looking through RUclips for the last couple of days, but there is surprisingly little material available, certainly when compared with the vajra. Knives, metals and shamanic implements are amazing: that's a collection it must have taken you quite a long time to acquire.
@@laurameszaros9547 have you watched my video on phurba symbolism? I’m planning to make other videos about the use of the phurba
@@paulwilkinson5970 I will certainly make sure to watch it tonight!!
@@paulwilkinson5970 Hi Paul, I've tried to find your video about phurba symbolism, but can't seem to locate it. Would you please be able to link it - I'd be very interested to watch. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your videos! Have you informations about how the kinves or phurba "work"? I mean, they are material objects that may affect spirit that have no body. How come? How come a knife keep at bay a spirit? Does an object emits its own sort of "vibration"/frequency that can be sensed by spirits?
Hello Caroline that’s a very good and interesting questions! I feel that the quality of the magical object the materials used and the energy of the intention of the shaman all create a resonance and an energy that carries across between the material physical world in to the emotional spiritual and etheric realms . The repeated use of the objects builds an energy memory and what feels like a sort of presentness even a sort of consciousness within the objects . Especially within the more powerful tools like the Shamanic Phurba . .. The form weather shamanic knife ,drum ,bell ,or phurba creates the pattern of physical mental emotional and spiritual use , a sort of Chanel for directed attention . This consistency of say ,cutting with a knife acts as a conduit for consciousness . And an anchor for awareness . It’s probably best to think of the magical shamanic ritual objects as vehicles for attention and consciousness. It’s the non physical consciousness that effects the spirit world more than the physical objects but the quality of the object it’s form use and materials also has some effect .
What kinde of rituals can i do whit it and how
the first knife you show with the date 1997 is not form nepal or tibetian.... its a newly made knife from the chinese hybrid ethno group called boanan or "bo'nan"..
they are a muslim group of ethnically chinese metal workers originating probably .. based on genetics from around fujian.. with a percent of arab and persian male dna (10-25 percent) but little or no mongol or tibetian intermarriage .. probably due to religion. .. , their origins are from the mongol period, arab and persians the mongols brought to administer the chinese.. at some point they formed a knife and sword making ethnic group the mongols then settled them in metal working villages .. like a whole armory in one village... their profession was once only making knives, metal products ect.. the belt knives were traded with nomads and still are.. . they live only in two villages.. one in north west tibet around lake khokonor..and one it central western china. the pommel represents a peacock.. many items also there will be islamic inscriptions on the blades or a hand with raised finger declaring there is one god ect.. many boanan were aligned or controlled by chinese sunni muslim warlords in the interwar period. and supplied them with metal products and knives.. they also made homemade firearms and other items common at the time.
they still make their knives in a traditional manner and sell good quantities to nomadic groups.. the quality is high, due to Chinese government oppression in the cultural revolution sword making is now unknown among them (they made swords or blades of swords to sell to nomads.. mongols, kazakhs ect) .. as oppose to tibet where sword makers are still numerous..
There is no 'f' sound in the Tibetan language 'phurba' is pronounced 'purba' the 'h' after the 'p' is aspirated. The phurba itself is not a knife but a peg to 'pin down'.
purb.. not furba.. the ph is just p..
