What about those other flags?

Throughout the Himalayas, strung from this to that you will see Tibetan prayer flags. They can be vertical, darchor meaning increase life, health, & wealth 
or horizontal, lung ta meaning wind horse but they always come in 5 colors that are placed in a specific order.

Blue - sky

White - air

Red - fire

Green - water

Yellow - earth

As the breeze flows by and the flags gently sway...

all the blessings from the prayers printed on the cloth 

are transported around the earth

for the benefit of all sentient beings.
