Traditional Tibetan Prayer Flags Small - Set of 5, Fair Trade Prayer Flags enhance the life, fortune, health and wealth of all sentient beings. Each flag is inscribed with a prayer that will flow out over the world, carried by the wind to benefit all beings. There are 5 different colors representing 5 primary elements: Blue: sky White: air Red: fire Green: water Yellow: earth. There are many different prayers used on prayer flags with one of the most popular being the windhorse. Certain (auspicious) days are better for hanging prayer flags than others and as with all Tibetan traditions prayer flags are to be hung to benefit everyone with the intention "all beings everywhere receive benefit and find happiness". Our Prayer Flags are printed from hand carved woodblocks in the traditional manner. Enjoy the slow fading of color as they hang in the elements. To dispose of old flags with respect, please burn them. 5 sets of cotton prayer flags, each flag measures approx. 6 1/2" x 7 1/2"", there are a total of 10 flags in each bundle which measure 60" each. Hang them all in your garden for a beautiful display or give them as gifts! Please note that these are traditional prayer flags, they are "unfinished" and may arrive slightly frayed, and will become more frayed as the wind carries your prayers away. The idea is truly that the prayers are placed into the elements. They are to disintegrate over time and as they do their prayers fly into the wind and dissolve. Fair Trade allows artisans a fair wage to support their families.
