Prayer flags

length : 200 cm

Prayer flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers and mantras to generate compassion, health, fulfillment of wishes and to overcome illnesses, natural disasters and other obstacles. Typically hung in windy and mountainous areas, prayer flags moving in the wind generate natural positive energy, carry spiritual vibrations, and offer protection and harmony to everything touched by the wind.

Prayer flags are 5 colorful cloth flags that are strung on ropes and hung in horizontal displays or tied on vertical poles. The 5 colors represent the 5 basic elements: Earth (yellow), Water (green), Fire (red), Air (white), and Space (blue). When these elements are in balance both externally and internally, it is said to bring harmony to the surroundings and healing to the body and mind.

For centuries, Tibetan Buddhists have planted prayer flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry their beneficial vibrations across the countryside. Perhaps there is no simpler way to create good merit in this troubled world of ours than to set up prayer flags for the benefit of other living beings.
