Long Lokta Paper Prayer Flags - Large

These sets of beautiful hand made paper prayer flags each have gold block print designs of prayers, mantras and auspicious symbols. Prayer flags are used in Nepal to promote compassion, peace, strength and wisdom. Tibetans believe that their mantras will be blown by the wind, through the flags, and will spread goodness everywhere. Over time the images on the flag may fade but this is seen as a natural progression of life; as our lives move on, so too do that of the flags. Tibetans either ritually burn old flags to further spread their prayers or they add new flags to the faded ones as an acknowledgement that they are all part of the cycle of life.
