Tibetan Prayer Flags
Prayer Flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras.
Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have hung these flags outside their homes, places of spiritual practice and on high mountain passes for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside.
Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to all in the vicinity. The prayers printed on the flags bear traditional Buddhist symbols, protectors and enlightened beings - representing aspects of enlightened mind i.e. compassion, perfect action, fearlessness, etc.
Displayed with respect, the flags impart a feeling of harmony and protection.
