Vajrakilaya is a principal yidam (meditational deity) in Tibetan Buddhism, particularly revered by the Nyingma school. He is associated with the phurba, the ritual dagger, which is used to subjugate negative forces and spiritual defilements. His practice is essential for purifying obscurations and protecting practitioners on their path to enlightenment.
