Tibetan Prayer Flags

Prayer flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols,
invocations, prayers, and mantras.
Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags
outside their homes and places of spiritual practice
for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside.
Prayer flags are said to bring happiness,
long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity.

Aware of the suffering caused by the destruction of life ,

I vow to cultivate compassion and learn ways to protect

the lives of people , animals, plants , and minerals .I am

determined not to kill , not to let others kill , and not to condone

eny act of killing in the world , in my thinking, or in my way of life

(Thich Nhat Hanh )blessed are the peace makers...

Prayer is is not about asking ,

its about listening ...

its just your eyes to see

what was there all along ....

The mantra means:
May the many sentient beings
who are sick,
quickly be freed from sickness.
And may all the sicknesses of beings
Never arise again.

A meditation
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

i think of love as the highest the holyest action
the most elevated language
the highest form of energy ...
Love vibrates rapidly powerfully shapes the invironment
If there is love and peace at home
. it is like heaven ,Love has no blame but to recognise
the light in each other . It can transform the madness and
insanity of the world .
The whole world is hungry for one drop ...
Open your heart send out unconditionaleternal pure love
become an ocean of love ..... love brings PEACE ....

Namkhyen Gyaldar - The Dream Flag of HH16 Karmapa

'Namkyen Gyaldar' means the 'Victorious Flag of Buddha's Wisdom'. It is the manifestation of the supreme Enlightened vision of HH 16th Karmapa. HH prophesised that this flag will bring immense benefits to the Dharma as well as all sentient beings.

The sky blue colour represents the complete and profound Wisdom of the inner realisation of the Buddha. The yellow colour on the flag represents the complete Wisdom of limitless Compassion which bestows benefits on all sentient beings and phenomena. The wavy line and the joining of the yellow and blue colours signify the inseperability of these two Wisdoms.

What is praised is one, so the praise is one too,
many jugs being poured

into a huge basin. All religions, all this singing,
one song.

The differences are just illusion and vanity. Sunlight
looks slightly different

on this wall than it does on that wall and a lot different
on this other one, but

it is still one light. We have borrowed these clothes, these
time-and-space personalities,

from a light, and when we praise, we pour them back in.

Let the rain come and wash away
the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds
held and nurtured over generations.
Let the rain wash away the memory
of the hurt, the neglect.
Then let the sun come out and
fill the sky with rainbows.
Let the warmth of the sun heal us
wherever we are broken.
Let it burn away the fog so that
we can see each other clearly.
So that we can see beyond labels,
beyond accents, gender or skin color.
Let the warmth and brightness
of the sun melt our selfishness.
So that we can share the joys and
feel the sorrows of our neighbors.
And let the light of the sun
be so strong that we will see all
people as our neighbors.
Let the earth, nourished by rain,
bring forth flowers
to surround us with beauty.
And let the mountains teach our hearts
to reach upward to heaven.

Amen.

a prayer for the world - rabbi harold kushner - 2003

If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.

If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.

If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.

If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.

If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.
