Prayer Flags for Peace

The Tibetan Prayer Flag is called “Lung Ta” in Tibetan, which means Wind Horse.  Both the wind and horse are vehicles of movement, with the horse carrying material form and the wind, spiritual form.  The Tibetan Prayer Flag is, therefore, the vehicle by which a prayer is carried on the wind.

Prayer Flags are usually created by Tibetan Monks or Lamas as a spiritual practice.  They are sewn in groups of five in five colors representing the five positions of Buddha and the five elements. Usually, at the center of each flag there is a wind horse with the wish-fulfilling jewel on its back.  The horse is accompanied by supernatural creatures, sacred mantras, and the eight auspicious symbols.

The most common mantra on the flag is the “Om mani pad me hung,” often translated as “a jewel in a lotus,” which is a metaphorical prayer for compassion and enlightenment.

Prayer flags carry prayers for all beings.  It is believed that blessings are released to those who hang these prayers for peace, enlightenment, and compassion for the benefit of us all.
