Product Description
Product Description
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.

moving, 26 July 2009
By Top Cat "T.C." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tibetan Prayer Flags: Send Your Blessings on the Breeze (Hardcover)
Shipped promptly, arrived as advertised. I have a set of my own and have given two as gifts. Each box comes with a book, a string of stamped flags, a string of blank flags and a marker. My most recent order went to a dear friend who lost her husband. She held a ceremony to scatter his ashes on the farm. The blank flags were laid out on a table, the book passed around and guests took time to say goodbye, and offer prayers and symbols from many different religions. We hung the flags from a tree and scattered ashes and prayers to the wind. What will you do with yours?

If by "misleading" you mean "real", 10 Sep 2007
By C. Stoneham - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tibetan Prayer Flags: Send Your Blessings on the Breeze (Hardcover)
The flags are real and the book is great. The windhorse design conveys "the wide-reaching beneficial effects of the Buddha's teachings". You're actually getting real prayer flags that you might find in Tibet in this package. My only complaint is that 15 is too few. ;)

These were requested as a gift and were flown on an open upstairs porch. They were very festive looking even for the non Buddist among us.
