Motivated by a velvet prayer flag?
Kûrma has selected a range of Tibetan prayer flags for you. They are, as their name suggests, made of velvet, and represent a fundamental symbol of Buddhism. They are variations (size, among others) of the famous mantra Om mani padme hum, in 5 colors and 10 flags. Composed of 6 syllables, this prayer is particularly important in Tibetan Buddhism. As already mentioned in other sub-categories concerning prayer flags, each color is linked to a specific sacred word and element. A mantra is written on each flag and the wind carries these words away in its whirlwind.
