Tibetan prayer flags White Tara

Cotton Tibetan prayer flags by Dakini; these 10 flags show the image of White Tara. White Tara, Bodhisattva of Longevity: has a healing effect, stimulates willpower of the mind, builds energy and life force.

White Tara's mantra is: "Om Tare Tuttare Ture Mama Ayuh Punye Jnana Pustim Kuru Svaha".
It is widely believed that reciting this mantra has a healing effect on the body and can prolong one's own life as well as the lives of other beings.

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.
