Significance of offering Hair
« on: February 10, 2012, 03:03:18 PM »
From Music Delighting, http://dorjeshugden.com/wp/?page_id=52/#1, I noted that Sonam Yeshe Wangpo and Ngawang Sonam Geleg Pelzang offered their hair to High Lamas.

What is the significance of offering hair?  Is this a form of promise to undergo ordination in the future?

What is the difference of just offering hair as was done by Sonam Yeshe Wangpo and offering the hair from the crown as was done by Ngawang Sonam Geleg Pelzang?
