Tibetan Prayer Flags

Traditional rolls of tibetan prayer flag strings from the himalayan kingdom of Nepal. Tibetan prayer flags are strung throughout the Himalayas & the world, creating an atmosphere of peace, serenity, and hope wherever they are flown. Tibet Prayer Flags are traditionally hung outside temples, at holy sites, crossroads, over bridges, roof-tops, atop mountain summits or anywhere open, where the prayers may meet the wind. Prayer flags are said to invoke compassion, harmony, peace, wisdom, strength, and to offer protection against dangers and evil.
Stringing Buddhist Prayer Flags is thought to be beneficial for all beings in the immediate area, and to benefit the karma of the individual who hangs the flags. Prayer flags will deteriorate from time spent out in the elements, so they are typically renewed each Tibetan new year by pilgrams visiting sacred sites. The old flags are not removed, the new flags are simply added to the existing prayers. These sites eventually build into wonderful displays of prayers and colors - mouseover the above photo to see such a site on a high mountain pass in Tibet.

Windhorse

The Tibetan word for prayer flags is Lung-ta, literally "Windhorse". The central image is that of a horse bearing three flaming jewels on its back, representing the Tibetan Buddhist trinity. This is the triple refuge of Buddha, who is the enlightened one, Dharma, the path of Buddhist teachings, & Sangha, the Buddhist monastic community. The Windhorse is both the subduer of evil & the vehicle of enlightenment.

"Namkhyen Gyaldar"
'Namkyen Gyaldar' means the 'Victorious Flag of Buddha's Wisdom'. It is the manifestation of the supreme Enlightened vision of HH 16th Karmapa. HH prophesised that this flag will bring immense benefits to the Dharma as well as all sentient beings.
The sky blue colour represents the complete and profound Wisdom of the inner realisation of the Buddha. The yellow colour on the flag represents the complete Wisdom of limitless Compassion which bestows benefits on all sentient beings and phenomena. The wavy line and the joining of the yellow and blue colours signify the inseperability of these two Wisdoms.

Universal Buddhist Flag
first hoisted in 1885 in Sri Lanka,it is a symbol of faith and peace used throughout the world to represent the Buddhist faith. The six colours of the flag represent the colours of the aura that emanated from the body of the Buddha when He attained Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. The horizontal stripes represent the races of the world living in harmony and the vertical stripes represent eternal world peace. The colours symbolise the perfection of Buddhahood and the Dharma.
Therefore, the overall flag represents that regardless of race, nationality, division or colour, all sentient beings possess the potential of Buddhahood.
It is hung at monasteries, holy spots and the homes of Buddhist pratitioneers. It is also displayed during Buddhist rallies and during pilgrimages. These flags are sewn from individual strips of cotton fabric.
