A forest of tall prayer flag poles silhouetted against a blue sky with wispy white clouds in rural Bhutan. The wind carries the prayers into the world

Instead, the prayers and mantras printed on the flags will be blown by the wind to spread goodwill and compassion to all living beings. The prayers become a permanent part of the universe as the images fade from exposure to the elements.
