Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five
, one in each of five colors. The five colors represent the elements, and the
Five Pure Lights
and are arranged from left to right in specific order: blue, white, red, green, and then yellow. Different elements are associated with different colors for specific traditions, purposes and
sadhana
. Blue symbolizes sky/space, white symbolizes air/wind, red symbolizes fire, green symbolizes water, and yellow symbolizes earth. According to
Traditional Tibetan medicine
, health and harmony are produced through the balance of the five elements.
Like all prayer flags, these may be displayed horizontally, vertically or at an angle.  When the wind catches the flags, the prayer will go out to all sentient beings.  The colors of the flags, blue, white, red, yellow and green are traditional and each color is symbolic:
b
lue symbolizes sky/space
,
white symbolizes air/wind,
red symbolizes fire
,
green symbolizes water,
and
yellow symbolizes earth
.
There is perhaps no simpler way to create good merit in this troubled world
of ours than to put prayer flags up for the benefit of other living beings. Prayer
flags are not just pretty pieces of colored cloth with funny writing on them. The
ancient Buddhist prayers, mantras and powerful symbols displayed on them
produce a spiritual vibration that is activated and carried by the wind across the
countryside. All beings that are touched by the wind are uplifted and a little
happier. The silent prayers are blessings spoken on the breath of nature. Just as
a drop of water can permeate the ocean, prayers dissolved in the wind extend to
fill all of space.
