Red Hats
Red Hats. A loose term used by early W. commentators on Tibetan Buddhism to refer sometimes to the Nyingma school, sometimes to the students of the Zhamar (‘Red Hat’) Rinpoche as if these constituted a subschool within the Karma Kagyü, and sometimes to refer to all Tibetan Buddhist schools collectively, in contradistinction to the Geluk school who are colloquially called Yellow Hats. The term ‘Red Hats’ is not used among Tibetans themselves.

Red Hats
Red Hats. A Chinese term used indiscriminately for the three non-Geluk schools of Tibetan Buddhism, on account of their ceremonial red caps, in contrast to those of the Gelukpas which are yellow. Neither term is used by the Tibetans who only apply ‘Red Hat’ to the leader and adherents of one branch of the Karma-kagyü school.
