A Bhumpa is used to store blessed water in Tibetan Buddhist rituals such as Trusol ceremony blessings, or for purifying negatively charged environments.
The Bhumpa, or Ritual Vase, is an important ceremonial item used for holding holy water that has been blessed by the Guru. The holy water is believed to remove negativity and to chase away evil spirits, and it is sprinkled or poured to purify persons, places or objects. Bhumpas are widely used by Gurus in many types of ceremonies, from elaborate purification rituals for new houses, monuments and holy sites, to simple blessings for disciples meant to purify and protect them from harmful forces. Bhumpas may also be used by practitioners to make water offerings; in such cases the water is regarded as pure nectar.
