Kapala marrón

The kapala in Vajrayana Buddhism is a ritual object shaped like a skull that reminds us of the impermanence of life. It represents human frailty and the inevitability of death, not in a terrifying way, but rather as an invitation to understand our existence. The skull symbolizes the letting go of attachments and fear, helping practitioners look at life from a deeper and more compassionate perspective. It teaches us that death is not an end, but part of a larger cycle of transformation and rebirth.
