Honor the wrathful compassion of Vajrakilaya (Dorje Phurba) with this traditional deity torma, meticulously carved from wood for lasting use on your shrine. Used specifically in the Vajrakilaya practices of the Nyingma tradition—including the Longchen Nyingthik lineage—this torma represents the deity’s energetic presence and serves as a powerful support for visualization and ritual engagement. Unlike the traditional tsampa torma, this version is made for permanence and practicality, ideal for daily or long-term sadhana by Vajrayana practitioners.

Symbolism & Meaning

Vajrakilaya is the wrathful deity who embodies the enlightened activity of all the Buddhas, particularly focused on the removal of obstacles and the destruction of negative forces. The deity-torma represents Vajrakilaya's body in subtle form and acts as a support for invoking his presence. In the Longchen Nyingthik and other Nyingma cycles, such tormas are vital components of daily or retreat practices, embodying fierce compassion that purifies and transforms.
