About this image
A Tibetan Buddhist monastery perched on a mountainside, its red and white walls standing in stark contrast against the blue sky and snow-capped Himalayan peaks. Colorful prayer flags -- printed with mantras, prayers, and sacred symbols in five colors representing the five elements -- stream from the monastery rooftop, fluttering in the mountain wind and carrying blessings to all beings touched by the breeze. Tibetan monasteries are built in high, remote locations partly for spiritual isolation and partly because Tibet's vast plateau offers few alternatives. The most famous example, the Potala Palace in Lhasa, rises over 300 meters above the surrounding valley. Each color of the prayer flags carries meaning: blue for sky, white for air, red for fire, green for water, and yellow for earth.
