Join Us to Win! Prayer Flags to Avert War and Overcome Obstacles Spreading the Benefits of Deity Prayer Flags Astrological Dates for Hanging Prayer Flags New Arrivals April Specials

If we raise prayer flags, they bless the elements that touch the mantras, for example, the wind. Then, animals and insects who feel this wind are purified of their negative karma, and it transfers their consciousnesses to higher realms. Also, when rain and water touches the flags, it blesses worms and other creatures in the ground and liberates them from the lower realms. -Lama Zopa Rinpoche
