Ritual science possesses techniques for promoting the inner and outer harmony so badly needed today. Traditional Tibetan prayer wheels and prayer flags distribute the power of sacred prayers, soothing the human heart and balancing natural forces. Volunteers have helped us create 10,000 hand-held prayer wheels in 1993 to distribute to Tibetans abroad. Prayer flags have been printed and sewn in large number since 1970 for use by monasteries. A new series of prayer flags designed by Tarthang Tulku responds especially to the imbalances of the 1990s.
Flags are silk-screened onto durable b rilliant nylon fabric.
Volunteers can learn skills while working for world peace. Select flags are now available for sale to public. Contact Tibetan Aid Project. A large prayer ceremony requires a patron to provide funds for participants' meals and for offerings to enable the lamas to travel to a central location to carry out intensive prayers and meditation. Since the 1970s TNMC has regularly offered support to a ll four schools of Tibetan Buddhism in exile in order to encourage the performance of traditional ceremonies and prayers.
