This delightful hat, designed by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, is covered with beautifully embroidered mantras and is available in blue, red, and maroon.

Note: These hats are intended to be worn, but because they have mantras on them they should be treated with the respect given to any other Dharma object and not sat on, put on the floor, etc.

Benefits of the Precious Mantra Cap

by Lama Zopa Rinpoche

By wearing this hat when you go out in public, not only when you play golf, but anywhere, in the street, on the beach, where many people are shopping, in the market, anywhere that animals or people can see you. You are liberating others. Just by wearing the hat.

If any fly goes around your hat (with mantras on), or any insects goes under or around, or maybe a person walks around you on the way to another shop, so all the time your liberating them, so many sentient beings who are suffering, now you are bringing them to enlightenment. It enlightens even the flies.

OM MANI PADME HUM is the mantra of compassionate eye looking Buddha who is the embodiment of all the Buddhas. This mantra is to develop compassion which is the most precious wish fulfilling of all your happiness, including liberation from the oceans of samsaric suffering, up to full enlightenment the peerless happiness.

You the one person by generating compassion can liberate all suffering sentient beings, equaling the limitless sky, from the oceans of samsara suffering and bring them to full enlightenment -the peerless happiness, fulfilling all their wishes and happiness, to each sentient being equaling the limitless sky.

The front mantra is from Buddha Sutras teaching called Chulong Rolpai Do. Just by merely seeing this mantra it pacifies 100,000 eons of negative karma.

The backside mantra -any sentient being that goes underneath this mantra purifies 1000 eons of negative karma.

The side down below the Mickey Mouse signature: By seeing this mantra on the hat it makes one to achieve enlightenment.

This of course applies to OM MANI PADME HUM as well, no question, it also has this benefit, also ones very heavy negative karma gets purified, including purifying the five uninterrupted negative karmas.

Comments from a Customer

Thank you again so much for the caps. My son and I wear them all the time and without fail, each time we are out someone either asks us what they are, where we got them, what they mean, or where they can get them. They receive universal compliments for being unusual, great, and different. We have had comments in queues, planes, coffee shops - all over, so in my view, they are a huge success. Thanks so much and many congratulations for the initiative
