Description

Tibetan prayer flags made of high quality cotton, environment friendly, for a long duration (at least two years outdoors). The cotton used is Terry Cotton which naturally absorbs a large amount of liquid and therefore makes the prayer flag more weather resistant. These prayer flags are printed in a traditional way with the deities of Tibetan Buddhism and are available in 5 colors representing the 5 elements. The prayer flags contain the images and prayers relating to: Tchenrezig, the Medicine Buddha (Sangye Menla), Guru Rinpoche, Green Tara and a lungta (wind horse). The quality of the cotton also allows our prayer flags to benefit from a quality coloring which renders beautiful vivid colors.
The use of Tibetan prayer flags dates back to the pre-Buddhist Bön tradition. The Bön shamans made and hung prayer flags in 5 colors representing the 5 elements - earth, air, water, fire and space. The use of the 5 colors in prayer flags goes back to the fact that in oriental medicine, these 5 colors are linked to the main bodily organs. Using these colors helped restore the patient's balance.
Most traditional Tibetan prayer flags are made today in Nepal and India by Tibetan refugees or by Nepalese Buddhists in the Tibetan border regions. They always use wooden blocks to print the drawings and texts on the prayer flags. The texts on the prayer flags are classified into 3 distinct categories: mantras, sutras and prayers.
The classic Tibetan prayer flags are called "Lungta" among Tibetans which translates to "wind horse". The raising of flags during important events within the nomadic communities of Tibet is one of the many customs practiced in order to attract luck in his community.
The order in which the five colors follow one another is always the same: blue, white, red, green and yellow. The flags are hoisted on auspicious days such as Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and also when the stars are in a favorable position according to the Tibetan almanac. We offer you in our dharmathèque the calendar of harmful days when you should not hang your prayer flags.
When hanging your prayer flags, it is important to generate positive motivation so that all beings in all directions receive blessings and happiness. The merits thus created will increase the power of prayers.
Offering Tara Blanche prayer flags for the long life of a person who encounters obstacles can be a good omen for their well-being.

Warning

All our objects are handmade. Each piece is unique and it is impossible to reproduce exactly the same. Slight differences may therefore appear in the shapes, proportions, colors and / or materials used in our descriptions and specification sheets.

The silver (metal) used in Nepal is always composed of an amalgam and is most often plated on metal parts. Most of the stores that sell 925 sterling silver products from Nepal are fraudulent!

Likewise, some stones considered semi-precious from Nepal or India are actually stones reconstituted from powder of semi-precious stones, such as turquoise or coral. Nevertheless, they seem to retain the properties of the original stones. In the case where reconstituted stones are used, we always specify it in the specifcation sheeet.
