Beyond the ordinary mind, the power of wisdom, love, and healing energy are at work in the universe. When we can find peace within our hearts, we contact these universal powers. This is our only hope. Today we speak of ecological awareness and caring for the environment, but there are more complex levels of interaction than those recognized by ecology. According to Tibetan Buddhism, the harmony of the planet depends on interconnections between our huma n realm and the forces of nature.
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.
