He was deeply involved in Buddhist spirituality, and he wanted his people to do the same. They were encouraged to buy prayer flags embroidered with mantras and hang them on buildings or other places.

The king himself designed the current well-known form of the flag. It combines symbols from the Bon tradition and Buddhism. The Tibetan word "Bon" means truth, reality, or true teaching. Before the spread of Buddhism in the 8th century, the Bon religion was the predominant religion among Tibetans.

The Right Time to Buy Prayer Flags

There are specific days in the Tibetan calendar when devout Buddhists buy prayer flags or hang them. They believe that different days influence the effectiveness of the mantras and prayers written on the flags.

Tibetans like to buy prayer flags to replace the old and faded ones once a year. Ideally, they do this during the Tibetan New Year festival, known as Lhosa. However, there are other important events to buy and hang new prayer flags, such as funerals, illnesses, or weddings.

You can choose a specific morning for decorating the new flags. It is optimal to do so with a positive and selfless motivation during the waxing moon. Hang them as high as possible so that the prayers can spread as far as possible into the world. Buying prayer flags and placing them directly on the ground is considered very disrespectful.
