Surrounded by mountains are these fluttering Buddhist prayer flags, carrying with wind the scared prayers.
Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Primarily, originated in Bon, the Buddhist prayer flags are often found strung along trails and high peaks, used to bless the surrounding countryside.
Traditionally the flags come in a set of five colors in a specific order viz Blue, White, Red, Green and Yellow. The five colors represent the five elements (sky, air, fire, water and earth resp.) and the five pure lights. According to the traditional Tiberian medicine, health and harmony are produced through the balance of the five elements. Prayers for a long life of good fortune are often included for the person who mounts the flag. These flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength and wisdom.
