Each flag is beautifully printed using traditional methods and made in Kathmandu, Nepal.
 
Traditionally, Tibetan prayer flags come in sets of five, with one flag in each of five colors, left to right in this specific order: blue, white, red, green, and yellow.
 
The five colours represent the elements:
 
blue - the sky and space
white - the air and wind
red - fire
green - water
yellow -  earth
 
Prayer Flags are auspicious flags that contain images of deities, mantras and prayers, which are traditionally believed to bring happiness, peace, prosperity, good fortune, health and victory over obstacles.  A large variety of prayers surround the center image of lungta, a Windhorse. Lungta is also the Tibetan word for 'prayer flag'.
 
Prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength and wisdom.  The prayers inscribed on them protect from destructive evils and obstacles toward the flag planter and all sentient beings.
 
Tibetans believe that the prayers and mantras will be blown upwards as an offering to their deities and will bring fortune, happiness and good health to all who hang them.
 
When raising prayer flags it is important to have a good motivation. One should not have selfish or limiting thoughts. When hanging prayer flags one should wish that all beings everywhere will benefit and find happiness.
 
Tibetan tradition considers prayer flags to be holy. The flags contain sacred texts and symbols and should be treated respectfully. They should not be placed on the ground or disposed of by putting in the rubbish bin.
 
You may also choose to let your old Tibetan prayer flags fade and disintegrate naturally, hanging new prayer flags up with old ones. The contrast between old and new prayer flags is a reminder of impermanence and the continuing cycle of birth and death. They can also be placed up in a favourite tree.
 
You may also choose to burn them so that the smoke may carry their blessings to the heavens. Do not let prayer flags touch the ground as they are burned. As you are burning the prayer flags, you should try to remember the intentions with which the prayer flags were made and blessed and have compassion for all sentient beings.
 
Windhorse Prayer Flags
The Wind Horse or Lung-ta is the most prevalent symbol used on prayer flags. In the center of the prayer flag is a powerful horse (lung-ta) bearing three flaming jewels on its back. These jewels represent the Buddha, the Dharma (Buddhist teachings), and the Sangha (Buddhist community) which are the three cornerstones of Tibetan philosophical tradition. The horse (Ta) is a symbol of speed and the transformation of bad fortune to good fortune. Surrounding the Lung ta are mantras and Buddhist sacred symbols. In the corners of the prayer flags are images four powerful animals, also known as the Four Dignities: the dragon, the garuda, the tiger, and the snow lion.
