Kīla (Buddhism) → Phurba – Phurba is the most well-known term used for this implement. That is because use of the phurba is primarily restricted to Tibetan Buddhism and maybe Japanese (Shingon), but its Indian Buddhist equivalent, kila, hasn't been natively used for centuries. There is also a dispute as to whether the implement is native to Tibet or not. Those biased toward the "not" tend to use the term kila, although it's not in current usage in Tibetan or other Buddhism. So it's not an WP:NPOV title. (This article also had a fork of Vajrakilaya in it, due to the position of the editor who created this article, which has since been separated out to where it belongs.)

Missing word?
[edit]‘ One of the principal methods of working with the and to actualize its essence-quality is to pierce’
Is there a word missing between ‘the’ and ‘and’ in this sentence? 2001:8003:3020:1C00:75F0:C12C:7F0B:920A (talk) 07:22, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
