Prayer Flags are wonderful. When they start looking tattered waving in the breeze they just seem magical. Their colors represent the different elements, and the thought is that when they flap they release the prayers that are written on them.
They are also wonderfully photogenic. Just try to take a bad picture of prayer flags. I dare you.
NORFOLK, Va. (May1, 2014) - Rear Adm. Margaret Kibben, chaplain of the Marine Corps, speaks with Marines, Sailors and civilian Marines of U.S. Marine Corps Forces Command during a prayer breakfast at the Camp Allen mess hall during a prayer breakfast in observance of the National Day of Prayer on May 1. During the prayer breakfast, members offered prayers, read the Bible, and took part in song and fellowship.Kibben said that the nation is stronger because of its faith and shared the example of Daniel in the Old Testament who persevered in prayer, obedience and service despite adversity.The National Day of Prayer was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress and was signed into law by President Harry S. Truman, according to nationaldayofprayer.org. It is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May for which the president issues a proclamation encouraging people of all faiths to pray for the nation."I invite the citizens of our nation to give thanks, in accordance with their own faiths and consciences, for our many freedoms and blessings, and I join all people of faith in asking for God's continued guidance, mercy, and protection as we seek a more just world," said President Barrack Obama in his presidential proclamation of the National Day of Prayer 2014.

As people walk around the Stupa clockwise reciting prayers, their path takes them through the Prayer Wheel House, where they turn the prayer wheels as they go. The prayer wheels are at the front of the building. The back part has drawers where the ashes of the deceased will be kept. The prayer wheels contain millions of mantras for peace and compassion which have been inscribed on paper soaked in saffron water and specially blessed. As one turns the prayer wheel clockwise it activates the blessing of the mantras, tramsmitting the energy of peace and compassion in all directions.

This set of photos was inspired by His Holiness, the (14th) Dalai Lama whom I was fortunate enough to see when he recently visited Idaho. Tibetan Buddhists believe that H.H. the Dalai Lama is the reincarnation of Chenresig (Avalokitesvara) the boddhisatva of Compassion.
The Dalai Lama blessed this wheel himself just a couple of weeks ago. It is one of only four prayer wheels of this type in North America - and the only one to be blessed by the Dalai Lama. The wheel, which is water powered, is filled with over one million written mantras. It is located in the Garden of Infinite Compassion which was designed by Martin Mosko, the abbott of Hakubai Temple.
