Prayer Flags |
 |
| Prayer flags are cloth printed with formulas of mantra designed to benefit beings in different ways, such as removing obstacles, granting long life, giving good fortune, and so on. They can be blue, white, red, yellow or green. People may put up prayer flags of the five colours alternating or of only one colour - according to the astrologer's recommendations. As the wind blows the prayers are carried into the environment and any beings that meet the air or breathe in that air are blessed. In Sherab Ling there are 15ft prayer flag poles that run beside the stupas, and prayer flags can be seen there and also at the monks retreat centre. by the Tai Situpa |
