The prayer flag is a colorful rectangular cloth, often found strung along mountain ridges and peaks high in the mountain. They are used to bless the surrounding countryside and for other purposes. Prayer flags are believed to have originated with Bon, which predated Buddhism in Tibet. In Mongolia, the people are usually blue flags for sky. They are unknown in other branches of Buddhism. Traditional prayer flags include woodblock-printed text and images.
