Flags
The Buddhist prayer flags came with instruction sheets that weren't all that helpful. Fortunately TheHungerSite.com where I ordered them explains:
The snapping of Prayer Flags in the wind evokes the sound of hooves of the Windhorse (Lung-Tha) galloping in the sky, riding the breezes and carrying prayers to the universe to benefit all sentient beings.
Each set of flags was hand-made and blessed by Tibetan nuns. Handmade in and fair-trade imported from Dolma Ling Nunnery in Dharmasala, India.
I'm using them mostly to decorate my backyard garden, but if they bring a little cosmic goodness to the world, I'm OK with that too. And if at the same time they frighten away critters that might eat the plants, better yet.
