Traditionally, prayers flags are used to promote peace, compassion, srength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to god. Which ia a common misconception; rather, the bhutanese people believe the prayers will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. It is a good deed for Buddhist. Wherever you go in Bhutan, you can see prayers flags -and they are the peaceful sight. " It's a good omen to receive prayers flags as a gift from a friend or a well. "
