Prayer Flag (rlung rta)

A flag inscribed with mantras which may be white, blue, yellow, red or green, corresponding to the five distinctive elements, and which may be hoisted on a roof-top or courtyard flagpole, or secured to a cairn on a mountain pass. The power of the inscribed prayers is then activated by the blowing of the wind, promoting both the well-being of the individuals in whose names the prayer flag was erected, and the well-being of all sentient beings in general.
