Was fascinated by these Tibetan prayer flags on our visit to the Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD) Tibetan Buddhist Monastery yesterday.
Each set of 5 colors represent the elements: sky, air, fire, water, & earth. Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. 😊
Side note: It was very overcast while we were there, even feeling ike it could rain at any moment. But check out the pic of the monastery where the highly sacred Shrine Room is located... I did not see that "burst" of sun circling the building's golden adornments on top, until I looked at the pics later... very cool.
