The Tibetan Prayers contained on the flag are carried by the wind, and your own mind to all everyone as a blessing. By viewing the flags you are reminded to prayer for the welfare of people, and to be mindful of the motivation to be kind, compassionate, and joyful throughout the day. When I see a prayer flags, I am reminded of the call to say a prayer for the welfare of all beings, to work to bring about virtue, goodness, healing and happiness in the world around me.
