Tibetan prayer flags Green Tara

Cotton Tibetan prayer flags by Dakini; these 10 flags show the image of Green Tara. Green Tara, Bodhisattva of Salvation and Rescue: quick and active in freeing fears, solving problems, helps to realize ambitions and goals and protects against dangers.

The mantra of Green Tara is: "Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha". It is believed that reciting this mantra provides immediate protection from all kinds of danger and helps in solving problems.

The dimensions of the flags are 20 cm x 24 cm with a length of approximately 2 meters. The colors of the flags are blue, white, red, green and yellow.

Tibetans believe that when the prayers and mantras are blown in the wind, they rise to the gods, bringing prosperity to the person who hung them, his family, friends, acquaintances and even enemies. By hanging the flags in high places on the ta, the wind horse, can bring blessings to all living beings. In doing so, the air itself is purified by the flags.

Old flags often lose their colours due to the weather and wind. It is believed that this is because the prayers are slowly absorbed into the environment. Just as life is a cycle of death and rebirth, Tibetans hang new flags next to the old ones, to symbolize the self-renewal aspect of life.
