Fringed Tibetan prayer flag

Tibetan prayer flags are colorful strips of fabric printed with mantras and symbolic motifs. They are traditionally hung in the wind to bring peace, compassion, wisdom and harmony to the world. The five colors of the flags symbolize the elements: Blue stands for sky, white for air, red for fire, green for water and yellow for earth. The wind distributes the messages of blessing, which are intended to benefit all living beings as spiritual energy. Prayer flags are an important part of Buddhist culture. They remind us to spread good wishes and positive energy.
