Small Traditional Tibetan Windhorse Block Printed Prayer Flag - 1 set

Small version of the hand block printed Tibetan Windhorse prayer flag set of 25. Windhorse prayer flags are traditionally hung by Tibetans in high places to catch the wind so that the prayer will be carried out to bless all sentient beings. The prayer is intended to bring blessings and good fortune to the world and translates as: “May the rain fall at the proper time. May the crops and livestock be bountiful. May there be freedom from illness, famine and war. May all beings be well and happy”. A riderless horse speeds tirelessly across the heavens, carrying an auspicious faceted jewel that radiates peace and harmony. The snapping of Prayer Flags in the wind evokes the sound of hooves of the Windhorse (Lung-Tha) galloping in the sky, riding the breezes and carrying prayers to the universe to benefit all sentient beings. Prayer Flags are printed from hand carved woodblocks in the traditional manner. Enjoy the slow fading of color as they hang in the elements. To dispose of old flags
