Dorje Shugden’s Golden Domed Hat

Answers the question why Dorje Shugden is protector of our time. Why he is so suitable to come to our aid. He is right here within our 6 realms and in our corner of the world – Dzambuling.

Even the hat is shaped like a lama’s hat, showing that he is travelling all the time. Such compassion to be here to answer our distressed call.

I really like and interested in Buddhist Cosmology, it tells us so much more beyond our modern science. I always believes the existence of many other realms beside what our naked eyes can perceive. Dorje Shugden has chosen to live in the same world with us – Dzambu Ling, this shows his compassionate quality in liberating all sentient beings. As he has the closest karma and affinity with us, it’s more efficacious for us to pray and take refuge in Dorje Shugden

Dorje Shugden’s golden domed hat is symbolic of the protection he grants to practitioners and upholders of Madhyamaka, Nagarjuna’s special view of Emptiness as embodied perfectly in Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings. The gold of the hat is from the Dazmbu river.

Nagarjuna upholds the Madhyamaka philosophy , which is the philosophy of the Middle View of Emptiness,the correct view of Emptiness or the direct or true meaning of the Prajnaparamita Sutras. The Middle View avoids the extremes of nihilism and eternalism, both of which are refuted by Nagarjuna, because both are in actual fact interdependently arisen.

Dorje Shugden’s dome-shaped hat made of gold from the River Dzambu, which, according to Buddhist cosmology flows in the Southern Continent -Earth- shows that Dorje Shugden is close to us and accessible.The golden domed hat also symbolises Dorje Shugden’s mobility and swiftness in coming to the aid of sincere practitioners who practise the Middle Way.He can come to our aid very swiftly.

Dorje Shugden’s golden domed hat thus signifies that he protects the practitioners and upholders of the true meaning of the Prajnaparamita Sutras as taught by Buddha Shakyamuni, which was elaborated by Nagarjuna and perfectly taught by Lama Tsongkhapa

The iconography and symbolism of Tibetan Buddhist are profound yet logiacl at the same time. For example, the Gold Dome Hat wore by the enlightened Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden. The Gold dome Hat represents the promise of protection from Dorje Shugden towards the practitioners of Nagjurna’s view in emptiness, which is enshrined in Lama Tsongkhapa’s teaching.

In Tibetan Buddhism cosmology, Dzambu Ling the southern atmosphere where us human resides. Therefore, as the gold color of Dorje Shugden’s hat has been adorned with the gold from Dzambu River, it signififies the close distance between Dorje Shugden and the pratitioners, hence the swift assistance he can provide when called upon.

As we understand more about the iconography of Dorje Shugden, we will be assured that they are signs of an enlightenment being. When we propiate Dorje Shugden, we will be guided and guarded on the path towards spiritual enlightenment.

” Golden domed hat also symbolises Dorje Shugden’s mobility and swiftness ” which shows the compassion state of Dorje Shugden.

This is one thing i like about Tibetan Buddha iconography as there are explanation on what each buddha wears and also holds. Explanation of the iconography makes you understand the buddha better and faith towards buddhism increases instead of relying on blind faith.

Thank you for the explanation of the domed hat. We now understand the significance of this travelling hat which provides swift protection and assistance to practitioners. We can call upon him when we need help. That is also why Dorje Shugden is the protector of our time when he supports us in our Dharma growth in this Kaliyuga times.

在佛教中， 佛像的所有细节都代表着不同的意义。 在这篇文章中解释的就是多杰雄登圆顶帽的意义。

圆顶帽第一个意思就是多杰雄登主要的任务就是守护宗喀巴大师对于龙树菩萨中观正见的教诲。 当初乃琼护法化身成为小男孩对持律主扎巴坚赞的请求就是希望持律主扎巴坚赞可以化身成为守护宗喀巴大师教诲的护法。过后持律主扎巴坚赞的转世杜固扎巴坚赞就在那一世履行承诺化身成为多杰雄登护法， 守护宗喀巴大师的教诲。

圆顶帽也是传统上高僧在长途旅程上戴的帽。 这也代表多杰雄登可以迅速帮助我们。 图片中我们看到达赖喇嘛与大宝法王都曾经戴过圆顶帽， 所以多杰雄登的圆顶帽也不是多杰雄登特有的， 也不是格鲁传承特有的。

谢谢。

Apart form Dorje Shugden’s mobility and swiftness in coming to aid sincere practitioners, Dorje Shugden wearing the golden domed hat shows that in his past incarnations he was a high Tibetan Lama, as Tibetan Lamas wore the domed hat traditionally while travelling on the road.

It is important to learn the iconography of Buddhas and what each specifically represents as the teachings of the Buddhas is represented in its iconography. We pray to Buddhas, but understanding what we are praying to and why is much more powerful than merely praying.

Dorje Shugden has no bias in this help, and very swift. As we do our prayers to him daily, we continue to build on the proximity of the relationship we have with him, and in time, his assistance towards us becomes much more swift.
