These are big. Each individual prayer flag is 13 inches. The whole thing is over 40 feet long.
A prayer flag is made of colorful cloth rectangles, often found strung along mountain ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas. Now you see them everywhere; their prayers lofted by the wind, spreading across the American landscape.
Prayer flags are believed to have originated with the Bon religion in Tibet. Once Padma Sambhava tamed the magical demons of Bon Shamanism, the prayer flag merged into the pantheon of Buddhist ritual items. This traditional prayer flag includes woodblock printed text and images.
We don't know if these prayer flags work, but we like to believe in them and we hope you do too.
