Tibetan prayer flags - a photo on Flickriver

            Las banderas de plegaria tibetanas se usan para promover la paz, compasión, fuerza y sabiduría. Los tibetanos creen que las plegarias y mantras escritos en las banderas serán esparcidos por el viento y traerán buena voluntad y compasión para beneficio de todos los seres. Vienen en grupos de cinco, cada bandera en uno de los cinco colores, representando cada color un elemento. Los colores (y elementos) de izquierda a derecha están en este orden específico: azul (cielo y espacio), blanco (aire y viento), rojo (fuego), verde (agua) y amarillo (tierra).
Los tibetanos consideran que las banderas de plegarias son sagradas. Éstas contienen textos y símbolos sagrados y deben tratarse siempre respetuosamente. No deben tocar nunca el suelo o ser tiradas a la basura. Y deben de ser quemadas para que el humo se lleve sus bendiciones a los cielos cuando se quieran tirar.

Tibetan prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras printed on the flags will be spread by the wind and bring goodwill and compassion to benefit all beings. They come in sets of five, with one flag in each of the five colors and each one represents an element. The colors (and elements) from left to right are in this specific order: blue (sky and space), white (air and wind), red (fire), green (water), and yellow (earth).
Tibetans consider prayer flags to be holy. The flags contain sacred texts and symbols and should always be treated respectfully. They should not touch the ground or be put in the trash. When disposing of them, they should be safely burn so that the smoke may carry their blessings to the heavens.
