Tibetan Prayer Flags

Product Description

Tibetan Prayer Flags are often used to bless an area, and are used to promote peace, wisdom strength and compassion.

Traditionally Prayer Flags come in sets of five, in five colours. These colours are arranged in a very specific order; from left to right this order is blue, white, red, green, yellow. These colours represent different elements. Blue for sky and space, white for air and wind, red for fire, green for water and yellow for earth. Through these mediums health and harmony are promoted.

Prayer Flags should be hung in the morning on sunny, windy days so that the prayers may be blown to the gods and be of benefit to all.

Because the symbols and mantras on prayer flags are sacred, they should be treated with respect. They should not be placed on ground or used in clothing. Old prayer flags should be burned.

These Prayer Flags come in small, medium and large. In each pack there are five strings of flags, each containing 10 flags.

• The Small Flags are approx 105mm x 105mm
• The Medium Flags are approx 170mm x 170mm
• The Large Flags are approx 205mm x 245mm
