prayer flags
A beautiful gesture by my neighbours dedicated to an inspired and generous member of our community whose spirit will live on.
Prayer Flags
The hanging of Tibetan Prayer Flags has a long history. According to an article by Timothy Clark that I found online,
‘The ancient Buddhist prayers, mantras and powerful symbols displayed on them produce a spiritual vibration that is activated and carried by the wind across the countryside. All beings that are touched by the wind are uplifted and a little happier. The silent prayers are blessings spoken on the breath of nature. Just as a drop of water can permeate the ocean, prayers dissolved in the wind extend to fill all of space.’
