Custom prayer flags

Post by Kilaja »

Is it possible to print custom prayer flags somewhere? I’m trying to get hold on Tashi Tsigpa -prayer flags.

true dharma is inexpressible.

The bodhisattva nourishes from bodhicitta, through whatever method the Buddha has given him. Oh joy.

If you can source environmentally friendly, biodegradable fabrics for the flags, I'm sure this would be a very positive thing.

Plain cotton would be best.

If you're making your own, with rubber stamps or a silk-screen, you should be able to buy yards of cotton very cheaply from a fabric shop.
Taking that thought a bit further, you could buy white cloth and some pots of dye.
And remember, anything you do for your practice is practice.

Whoa! Heard this in many words from many people, but put simply in this way it really hits the spot. Thank you, Kim!

For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

No one can point me to a source where they make these prayer flags?
