Peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom.

"Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space.(..)
The prayers of a flag become a permanent part of the universe as the images fade from exposure to the elements. Just as life moves on and is replaced by new life, Tibetans renew their hopes for the world by continually mounting new flags alongside the old. This act symbolizes a welcoming of life's changes and an acknowledgment that all beings are part of a greater ongoing cycle."

"Sur les cols, les éperons rocheux, les maisons, les temples, etc., il est de tradition chez les adeptes du bouddhisme tibétain, de hisser et d'arrimer des cordelettes munies de drapeaux de prières tout neufs. Le vent qui caresse au passage les formules sacrées imprimées sur les drapeaux et les disperse dans l’espace, est censé leur donner vie et les transmettre ainsi aux dieux et à tous ceux qu'il touche dans sa course"
