Hither and YonView Feedback Email hitherandyon Aloha This listing is for two large rolls of Tibetan Prayer Flags in Traditonal Designs View All Items View Auctions Only View Store Items This listing is for two traditional rolls of Tibetan prayer flags. Each roll is a string of twenty-five cotton flags in five colors, each color five times. Each individual flag measures approximately 13.5" wide x 10" high and the entire length of each string is over 28 feet. Stringing Buddhist Prayer Flags is thought to be beneficial for all beings in the immediate area, and to benefit the karma of the individual who hangs the flags. Prayer flags will deteriorate from time spent out in the elements, so they are typically renewed each Tibetan new year by pilgrams visiting sacred sites. The old flags are not removed, the new flags are simply added to the existing prayers. Different designs are available...upon purchasing you can state which ones you would prefer, or we will choose an assortment for you. The traditional designs that are available are rolls of Tara, Windhorse, Windhorse with Buddha and stupa, Chepsum, Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), or rolls that have all five of these designs on them. Amidst various prayers to the gods and goddesses of Tibetan Buddhism is the central figure of Tara, mankinds saviour and protector across the ocean of existence. She was born from a single tear of Avoloketshevara, the Boddhisatva of eternal compassion, and as such, is seen as a symbol of understanding and compassion. Her love for living beings and her desire to save them from suffering on their journey to enlightenment is said to be stronger than a mother's love of her child. Through the eyes in her forehead, palms, and soles she is able to see all human pain. Tibetan prayer flags are strung throughout the Himalayas & the world, creating an atmosp of peace, serenity, and hope wver they are flown. Tibet Prayer Flags are traditionally hung outside temples, at holy sites, crossroads, over bridges, roof-tops, atop mountain summits or anyw open, w the prayers may meet the wind. Prayer flags are said to invoke compassion, harmony, peace, wisdom, strength, and to offer protection against dangers and evil.
