Prayer Flags

Prayer Flags silhouette the Himalaya mountains in the backdrop. In Buddhism, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. Tibetans believe the prayers are carried silently by the wind, never to be still and spread compassion. White symbolizes air, red is fire. Green is water, yellow is earth, and blue is wind.
