Peace Traditions: Tibetan Prayer Flags

In Tibet, prayer flags flutter everywhere. They are strung from the highest mountains and across the lowliest valleys. Tibetans believe that, as the flags flutter in the breeze, the "lungta" or windhorse will carry your prayers for peace and compassion to all the world.

I like to look at prayer flags as a metaphor for what can happen when we choose to spiral outward in our awake, empowered selves: blessings multiply effortlessly and travel on the wind, creating ripples of wisdom and bliss. Thanks for the post!
