No thanks, got one....or a million! The passes were strewn with prayer flags, scarves, hats, pants, shoes, and basically any other thing someone thought might be useful as an offering.

They say that if you manage to keep them all spinning by the time you reach the end, your prayer would be answered

Every day I say this prayer...sometime especially in the last two weeks more than once while hitting my head trying to get it to sink in...how much better life would be if we could all live by this. Hope this touches at least one person then all is worth sharing :)

Serenity prayer (excerpt)

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

I love the colours and textures of the Buddhist prayer flags that dot the Tibettan countryside.

Prayer should be short, without giving God Almighty reasons why he should grant this, or that; he knows best what is good for us.

Vesting Prayers

when prayers seem meaningless.

Prayer flags such as these are a common sight in the northern state of Sikkim in India. The styles of flags change as you go northwards and eastwards to more dominant Buddhist states and countries. The prayers are written for souls and for the well being of others.

Here in This American Town, We are still allowed to Pray to Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, without any Parents objecting. God Bless America.

Our first impression with the country is the many colorful prayer flags hung on the bridges and almost everywhere we go to

The pictures are part of a farewell to Ottmar, who is departing this month for an extended trip to Tibet. The idea for a group of his fans to buy and take pictures of prayer flags and post them online is courtesy of Fanmenco Matt Callahan.

Prayer flags lined the entire road from Paro, where the airport is, to Thimphu, the capital. They were installed to welcome dignitaries, included Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for the 70th birthday celebration of the former king. Modi was due to arrive the day after us.

A Prayer for Mothers

God our Father, we thank You for the gift of life and the gift of our mothers. Bless our mothers and make their hearts glad. Fill our homes with laughter and love. Grant that our mothers might always rejoice in their sons and daughters. And may they hold their children's children in their arms.

eid prayer in coimbatore

This was taken at the ancient monastic site at Iona, which is still used as the local church. This is the window of a small prayer room - people write their prayers on paper, leaving them by the cross at the window and hold them down with stones.
