The Five Buddha Crown is worn during initiation empowerments and rituals. The five petal-like segments represent the Five Buddhas of the five directions, also known as the Five Symbolic Buddhas: Amitabha, Vairochana, Akshobhya, Ratnasambhava, and Amoghasiddhi. The crown initiation symbolizes the transmutation of the initiate's five body-mind systems (mirroring, sensational, conceptual, emotional and cognitive) and the five positions (delusion, pride, lust, envy, and hate) into the five transcendental buddhas (Amitabha, Vairocana, Akshobhya, Ratnasambhava and Amoghasiddhi). This crown is worn after blessing, visualizing, and lustrating, as a symbolic seal of the initiate's abandoning the notion of oneself as an ordinary, perfect being, and that adoption of the buddha-pride, the sense of oneself as a purified, enlightened Buddha, every atom itself becomes wisdom.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related ritual crown with the five transcendent Buddhas, dated late 14th to 15th century, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1985.391.
