Prayer Flag
In the Tibetan language prayer flags are called lung tawhich is translated as Windhorse. In the middle of such flags is a horse with three jewels on its back symbolising Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. The Windhorse represents great power, defeating evil and following the path to liberation. It frees from fears and removes all kinds of obstacles. It rides on the wind spreading prayers and wishes for the benefit of all beings all over the world.
The flags are of five colours: blue, white, red, green and yellow which symbolise the Five Buddha Families, the blessing of Buddha’s Body, Speech, Mind, Qualities and Activities as well as the five elements.
