Buddhist Prayer Flags

Flags blowing in the wind at Kantharodai Dagobas, 10km north of Jaffna

 

Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to gods, which is a common misconception; rather, the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space.
