MEANING OF DHARMA HAT DZI (WISDOM & HOLY PROTECTION)

Looks like a heart shape that is smashed down, and has a small hook in it. The 6 “magic caps” or otherwise simplified dharma hat motifs on this dzi are symbols of holy protection. As such, this dzi is a spiritual object or talisman. “Dharma” means “Wisdom”. By practicing Buddha’s teachings we protect our self from suffering and problems. All the problems we experience during daily life originate in ignorance, and the method for eliminating ignorance is to practice Dharma. Practicing Dharma and embracing the Dharma hat is the method for improving the quality of our human life. The quality of life depends not upon external development or material progress, but upon the inner development of peace and happiness which Dharma bestows on us.
