Copper Bumpa with Engravings 17cm

Copper Bumpa with Engravings 17cm. Copper Bumpa with auspicious engravings of 17cm, dragon and stones around. The Bumpa is a vessel for personal Buddhist practice. Bumpa are traditionally used during initiation of powers and rituals.

Each altar needs water for the offering bowls. This Bumpa is filled with water to be added to the offering bowls every morning.

This Bumpa is the finest example of high quality ritual instruments created in Nepal in the purest tradition of Tibetan Buddhist rituals. It is a very fine hand hammered copper object that displays beautiful engravings and detailed metalwork on both the raised base, top and spout. All ritual objects come from the finest Nepalese craftsmen and have been carefully selected by a Buddhist ritual master.

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

• Ritual objects are objects of practice that have the power to protect us and to help us on the path to liberation. Therefore, they should be treated with respect, i.e. kept off the floor and away from places where people sit or walk or dirty places.
• At external ritual times, objects must be protected by an appropriate holster for resting and/or carrying and not mixed, for example, with dirty or soiled equipment / objects.
• Ritual objects are not decorative objects. To acquire a ritual object, it is underlying that you want to use it for your practice, so you must dedicate a privileged place where it will remain outside the moments of practice.
• If you no longer wish to keep your ritual object, do not throw it away! Please contact your nearest Buddhist Centre and make a donation. By doing so, this object will give you merit until the end of your relationship.

These are some non-exhaustive rules of Buddhist ethics that you are free to respect or not.
