Hats in the Tibetan Monastic Traditions
Tashi delek,
There are many hats in the Tibetan Monastic Traditions.
All these hats have a certain story.
Feel free to post here the hat of your Tibetan Tradition, with a little story if possible.

Tashi delek,
Start with a Bön hat. This hat is worn in Tantric Rituals.

KAGYU
The Gampopa Hat.
Heard from a Kagyu Lama that the first Gampopa Hat, was made from a horse saddle.
Don´t know if his is based on facts.

Re: Hats in the Tibetan Traditions
PANDIT HAT:
The Pandit Hat has 3 horizontal stripes.
The Pandit hat symbolizes the "wise, educated or learned man" with specialized knowledge.
I have seen students of the Tibetan University in Varanasi with this hat, when they finished their study.
- Is this degree the same as the Geshe degree?
- Meaning of the 3 horizontal stripes ?

Yes many interpretations about that Gampopa hat.
If it would be a shoe from Mila, then he would have big feet, isn´t it?
Best wishes

Re: Hats in the Tibetan Monastic Traditions
I head somewhere (source forgotten, sorry) that the Gampopa hat was made to resemble the mountain behind Daklha Gampo Monastery. Far fetched, perhaps, but I did hear it somewhere.
All best wishes

Tashi delek,
One of the most famous Crowns / Hats in the Tibetan Spiritual Traditions is the Karmapa´s Black Crown.
A present of the Ming Emperor Yung Lo a devoted adherent of H.H. the 5th Karmapa Dezhin Shegpa.
Below we see H.H. the 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, wearing the Black Crown.

Re: Hats in the Tibetan Monastic Traditions
Tashi delek,
Nyingma has many Monastic hats, unbelievable, i count 9 Hats.
Maybe one of you could give some explanations to these impressive Nyingma Hats?
Also the names of these Nyingma Rinpochees are important to know.
Thanks

"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa

They are not necessarily monastic hats. Not all of those lamas are monks.kalden yungdrung wrote: ↑Sun Oct 21, 2018 11:04 am Tashi delek,

- Mindroling

Which of these Nyingma Hats are related to the above mentioned questions ?
Thanks .

Re: Hats in the Tibetan Monastic Traditions
Agree the Guru Rinpoche Hats are not Monastic Hats, then the only exception here.
Did not know that as non Nyingma follower, so it was a misunderstanding, can happen.
The rest of the hats and chaps etc. are off topic posts.
Otherwise we can place here photos of Tibetan Rinpochees with chaps of NY baseball chaps, summer hats, winter hats, hats of fur etc. which was never my intention here.
