Vajrakilaya or Dorje Phurba is the extremely wrathful form of Vajrasattva, the pure vajra nature of Enlightenment. In this imagery, the compassion of the Buddhas is expressed forcefully, to eradicate in a powerful way the entrenched ignorance and emotional afflictions which cause obstacles, interfering with auspicious circumstances and preventing the dawning of realization. Thus, the symbol of compassion is the phurba or phurbu, the ritual dagger which stabs the obstacles of hostile forces and embodied ignorance, thus transmitting their consciousness to the Buddha fields.
