For centuries Tibetans have hung prayer flags on mountain tops, homes, stupas and temples. The prayers written on the flags are released out to the universe as the wind blows through them. As the images and prayers fade from the flags, they become a part of the universe. New flags are often hung on auspicious days and during celebrations. This listing is for a roll of mini Tibetan prayer flags with the OM MANI PADME HUM design/mantra. There are 10 flags in the roll and each flag measures 3 inches by 3.5 inches. The script is the mantra of Avalokteshvara the Buddha of Compassion. It means HAIL TO THE JEWEL IN THE LOTUS.This mantra is one of most popular and commonly chanted prayers in Nepal and Tibet. It is the prayer from the Buddha of Compassion and is believed to bring peace and compassion to the world. Our prayer flags are handmade in Nepal by a local family that has been making prayer flags in Kathmandu for decades. They us traditional woodblocks and screen printing and employ hardworking women who are compensated fairly for their work and skills. Please let me know if you have any questions.
