Framed Small Print - Tibetan Prayer Flags

Prayer flags originated with the Indian Buddhist Sutras (texts), which were written on cloth banners and carried to other regions of the world. Traditionally, the flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength and wisdom. Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion to all.
