Description

These Bhumpa vases are the best examples of high quality ritual instruments crafted in Nepal in the purest tradition of Tibetan Buddhism rituals. It is a very fine hand hammered copper object that displays beautiful engraving and detailed metalwork to both the raised base, the top and the spout. All ritual objects of "Monastery Quality" proposed by the-dharma-store.com come from the best Nepalese craftsmen and have been carefully selected by a master of Buddhist rituals. This quality of items is not made for "home" usage but to be used extensively in daily ritual practices of a Dharma centre and can easily face dozens of years of intensive use. In Buddhism, the Bhumpa contains ambrosia (Amrita / Dutsi) that is to say the elixir of immortality, which provides long life. During rituals, these two vases are usually placed on the altar. The first primary vase (tsoboum), contains water for mandala deities whose practice is accomplished. The colour ribbon corresponding to the family of divinity is tied around its neck. The second, the "activity vase" (léboum), wearing a green ribbon is used to spray for purification when the ritual requires. If you want to know more about this ritual object, go in 'Dharmatèque'.

Tips for ritual objects

A ritual object, like any instrument of religious practice, must be respected with circumspection. We remind you here some ethical rules:

  • Ritual objects are objects of practice that have the power to protect us and help us on the path to liberation. They should therefore be treated with respect, that is, kept away from the ground and places where people sit or walk or dirty places.
  • Outside ritual moments, objects should be protected by an appropriate holster for rest and / or transport and not mixed with, for example, dirty or soiled equipment / objects.
  • Ritual objects are not decorative objects. To acquire a ritual object, underlies that one wishes to use it for its practice and one must therefore devote a privileged place where it will remain outside the moments of practices.
  • If you no longer want to keep your ritual object, do not throw it away! Please contact the nearest Buddhist Center and make a donation. In doing so, this object will give you merit until the end of your relationship.

This is a few non-exhaustive rules of Buddhist ethics that you are free to respect or not.

Warning

All our objects are handmade. Each piece is unique and it is impossible to reproduce exactly the same. Slight differences may therefore appear in the shapes, proportions, colors and / or materials used in our descriptions and specification sheets.

The silver (metal) used in Nepal is always composed of an amalgam and is most often plated on metal parts. Most of the stores that sell 925 sterling silver products from Nepal are fraudulent!

Likewise, some stones considered semi-precious from Nepal or India are actually stones reconstituted from powder of semi-precious stones, such as turquoise or coral. Nevertheless, they seem to retain the properties of the original stones. In the case where reconstituted stones are used, we always specify it in the specifcation sheeet.
