Description
| *Kapala, an important Dharma tool in Tibetan esoteric Buddhism Kapala (kapala) is a skull cup used to collect blood for Buddhist tantra-like rituals. It is believed that the more skulls of high ranking monks are used, the more one can achieve a state of transcendence of thought and mind in the shortest amount of time, and higher tantric meditation. In Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism, bones are considered sacred objects and are said to be made from the skull according to the will of the high priest. This kapala is also depicted in various Hindu deities, and a blood-filled kapala is often depicted on the left hand of Kali, Durga, and others. In Japan, the skull cup was famously presented by Nobunaga Oda at the banquet in which he vanquished Yoshikage Asakura. *The production is solid & gorgeous. A real caparla is made from a high layer skull, but this one is made from a resin called "resin. Please be assured that it is not a skull. The top of the skull is a lid, and you can put little things inside. There is a round hole on the side, so it would be good for an incense burner. Please enjoy it as an interior decoration, thinking of Tibetan culture. |

カパラ（カパーラ）とは、仏教のタントラのような儀式の際に用いる血液を溜めておくための髑髏杯です。地位の高い高僧の頭蓋骨を使用するほど、最短時間での思考と心の超越状態を達成、そしてより高いタントラ瞑想を得ることが出来るとされています。チベット密教では骨は聖なる物とされており、高僧の意思に基いて頭骨から作られるそうです。
このカパーラはヒンドゥー教の色々な神様にも描かれており、カーリーやドゥルガーなどの左手には血液の溜ったカパーラがよく描かれています。日本では、織田信長が朝倉義景を打ちとった宴に、髑髏杯を披露したことが有名ですね。
■作りはしっかり＆ゴージャス
本物のカパーラは高層の頭蓋骨から作られますが、こちらはレジンと言う樹脂で作られております。頭蓋骨ではありませんので、ご安心ください。
スカルの上部は蓋になっており、中にはちょっとしたものを入れておけます。横に丸い穴が空いているのでお香たてにも良さそうです。チベット文化に思いを馳せて、インテリアとして楽しんでくださいね。
