For centuries Tibetans have placed prayer flags around their homes, at sacred sites, near monasteries, and on mountain passes, as an offering to the enlightened ones and as prayer for the benefit of all beings.
	Each flag is hand block printed by monks, as they have been for centuries, at the site of one of the great holy places in the Himalayas. As these prayers are carried into the wind, the blessings of the Buddha's teachings are evoked, auspicious circumstance is created, and obstacles of all kinds are diverted.
	On each flag the central image of the 'Wind Horse', symbolizing upliftedness and confidence, is surrounded by the sacred prayers and mantras of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
	The five colors in each flag represent the five wisdom qualities of enlightened mind.
