What is a banner?

Post by Hazel »

Hello,

My lama mentioned that a practice text (an Amitayus Sadhana) he sent out was missing a "banner" that was 6-10 pages long. What is a banner in the context of Tibetan buddhism? It didn't seem like he meant a flag, but rather an additional part of practice.

I've been bombarding him with questions lately and so I was hoping I could find out the answer to this one on my own.

Thanks!
Hazel.

Edit:

I just want to know what it is in general, not for this specific practice. I'm wondering if he's just pronouncing it differently?
Happy Pride month to my queer dharma siblings!

What do you see when you turn out the lights?
