Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind, whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe, so close your weary eyes
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold
A prayer flag is a colorful panel of rectangular cloth, often found strung along mountain ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas. They are used to bless the surrounding countryside and for other purposes. Prayer flags are believed to have originated with Bon, which predated Buddhism in Tibet. In Bon, shamanistic Bonpo used primary-colored plain flags in healing ceremonies. They are unknown in other branches of Buddhism. Traditionally they are woodblock-printed with texts and images.

Each one prays to God according to his own light.
~ Mohandas Gandhi
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is the outside of a prayer box I made for my living room. Made it from a doll's cupboard. Your comments on this photo would be greatly appreciated.
In accordance with Buddhist beliefs, Prayer Flag is prayer or mantra and many religious symbols written on the clothes of five colors, i.e. white, blue, green, yellow and red; which reflects the main elements in life, i.e. air (wind), sky, water, soil, and fire and is considered to give happiness, longevity, and a blessing. Prayer flag is tied in a long rope and faced at places that are considered important. When the wind blows, the prayer flags look beautifully flying, and it is believed that prayers and mantras written on the flags soared into the sky to reach nirvana.
