“Prayer flags” - and banners are displayed at the beginning of new endeavors and the celebration of important holidays in Tibet.

The most well known prayer flags display a tiger, a snow lion, a garuda, and a dragon, (the four dignities) with a wind- horse in the center around which is written the mantra, "May the horse of good fortune run fast and increase the power of life, influence, fortune, wealth, health, and so forth." These words are then drawn into the world by the actual wind, and our minds energy, and radiate goodness outwards.
