Flying on Tibetan mountain passes, temple roofs and wherever Tibetans now make their home, gaily coloured prayer flags scatter blessings, mantras and good luck message on the winds, to be blown around the world. This pack contains 15 hand-painted lung-ta-authentic cotton flags. The accompanying book describes the origin and significance of prayer flags and presents a stunning collection of full-colour photographs of the flags in use, both inside and outside Tibet. Author and photographer Diane Barker explains the symbolism of the prayer flags included and suggests how they can be used at home.
