Tibetan Prayer Flag 10 x 10 Inches Large Roll of 25 Flags – Traditional Design with 5 Element Colors – Lung Ta Wind Horse Outdoor Flag - Handmade in Nepal

I love these flags and have used them on MULTIPLE high altitude climbs. Prior to my climb internationally, I have sent out a letter/note to family, friends and colleagues such as this sample one:INSERT NAME:The beauty of high altitude climbing is not simply the journey and the peaks and the views; it is also a personal journey through so many cultures. Within the climbing community I have been personally introduced to so many varied cultural mores and beliefs through South America, Canada, Europe and Asia. And while I hold firmly steadfast to my Catholic faith and beliefs, I was drawn to the cultural beliefs and folklore surrounding Tibetan prayers flags – a mainstay along most mountain peaks, basecamps and monasteries throughout Europe and the Himalayas.A Tibetan prayer flag is a colorful rectangular cloth, often found strung along trails and peaks high in the Himalayas. They are used to bless the surrounding countryside and to promote peace and wisdom. Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five: one in each of five colors. The five colors are arranged from left to right in a specific order: blue, white, red, green, and yellow. The five colors represent the five elements and the Five Pure Lights. Blue symbolizes the sky and space, white symbolizes the air and wind, red symbolizes fire, green symbolizes water, and yellow symbolizes earth. According to traditional Tibetan medicine, health and harmony are produced through the balance of the five elements.Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags DO NOT carry prayers to gods, which is a common misconception; rather, the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras by those uttering them will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit to all. As the wind passes over the surface of the flags, which are sensitive to the slightest movement of the wind, the air is purified and sanctified by these mantras and prayers. The prayers of a flag become a permanent part of the universe as the images fade from exposure to the elements. Just as Life moves on and is replaced by new life, Tibetans renew their hopes for the world by continually mounting new flags alongside the old. This act symbolizes a welcoming of life's changes and an acknowledgment that all beings are part of a greater ongoing cycle. You will see massive streams of these prayer flags along Himilayan routes and especially leading to Mt. Everest.While I fully embrace my Catholic faith, I believe there is some merit to the symbolism and purpose of these prayer flags. That is why I have taken lengths of Tibetan prayer flags with me on all of my high altitude climbs, beginning with my 2008 climbs in Ecuador. Along with those lengths of prayer flags I have also brought a specific but different list of names of persons that I briefly pray for to our Almighty while allowing these flags to briefly billow on that particular mountain summit.Will they grant magical healing upon your loved one? No. But I do believe that the Almighty hears my prayer in earnest on that summit day and be close to your loved one throughout their journey. He will guide your loved one to where he/she needs to be and surround him/her with peace and strength. The prayer flags help remind me of the sacredness of that mountaintop experience and are to simply remind all of us that we are part of a greater ongoing cycle that will eventually witness the Kingdom of God and the glory of the Risen Christ.Peace, Lee

👋🌈 😊 Donna,A beautiful thing 😊, Tibetan prayer flags! A funny story- I am aware that I'm picking up matrixes- like i get an unrelated urge to shop at Xmas time ( I am so not into shopping, so i know it can't be me). But this time, I got a vision of Tibetan prayer flags, I felt a desire, a need to see them around me. I found out about the day of Miracles.This year, the Day of Miracles is March 9th. I have never prayed for a miracle before. I appreciate the process of learning. However, this year for the first time, I pray for a miracle. This year is the election in February. This year I pray that the American people wake up and their consciousness wake up, that they are a rich society on a rich continent, and that it is safe to acknowledge that every human being is a valuable member of the society. As they wake up, they will see that the government is a service, not a business led by individuals who create business models that make all water run to their mills and creating the illusion in the society that the society does not matter and should have no safety nets. The American society will wake up that they matter, that their money should be used to create safety net for them. They will wake up that they are safe to wish Peace to the World. They will take back the money for war and use it for their safety net: pay their health practitioners from that money, pay their children care givers/ sources of information from that money, make amends to the wrong doing that primarily white race has committed towards all other peoples of the world. Use their mathematical sight to see how the Universe is unfolding.May there be help and food and shelter for all American people. May the neglected children be protected and not be seen as "losers " when they grow up into individuals not capable of taking care of themselves, instead of seeing that they never had a chance. Because, no one plays piano without taking lessons. No One is emotionally sane without love.Inner power has to be initiated in every child. That inner power is out ability to create. That is done through education. May all people damaged beyond repair be given dignity of human treatment as they exit this dimension.I have lived in the US for the last 25 years.I am coming from the place on Europe that was never a conquereor, but suffered history of human madness. It is the birth place of Nikola Tesla, and the place where the largest numbers of people ( 800 000) rose in wwII. Suffering makes us present to others suffering and it makes us wish well to all.

I hung these prayer flags, and suddenly my yard feels like a retreat center (minus the expensive yoga classes). The flags flutter like they’re whispering ancient wisdom, or maybe they’re just fluttering away my existential crises—who knows? Either way, they look awesome and have somehow convinced me I’m more enlightened every time I walk by. Plus, my neighbors now have more reason to wonder if I'm weirder than they originally thought. They also help the guy who mows my lawn avoid getting clotheslined by the low cable that holds up my sunshade, which was actually my initial reason for buying them. Now I'm addicted to them and have adapted an official "put a flag on it" for any parts of our house or landscaping I can fit one on. 10/10. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a little Zen or just wants to annoy their HOA.

Not the greatest quality of flags but they’re all there and the colors are great . (Quality issues are threads coming out of each flag if that bothers you , may lose durability due to this also) overall good flags other than my quality complaint

Brings color & peace to your space!

Colorful and traditional not only as decor but helps me feel somehow spiritually connected to history and tradition as I research the meaning and function of these flags.

Loved these flags, and the price. Ordered them in May 2023. This is what they look like on July 2024. You get what you pay for, right? Usually I need to replace the flags every three-four years. But this batch? Not even a year. If it’s for indoor use I’m sure it will be fine.
