TIBETAN PRAYER FLAGS

They seem to speak blessings to nature, which dissolve in the wind and bless all sentient beings.

Prayer flags have a long history and date back to ancient Tibet, China, Persia and India. The meanings of the symbols and texts are based on the concepts of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy.

The Tibetan word for prayer flag is Dar Cho. "Dar" means to increase life, fortune, health and wealth, "Cho" means all sentient beings.

Such simple bits of colourful cloth, together with the natural energy of the wind, quietly harmonize the environment - increasing happiness and all things good.
