33" wide x 25" high ('medium size', there is a larger one listed in our store)
First hoisted in 1885 in Sri Lanka,it is a symbol of faith and peace used throughout the world to represent the Buddhist faith. The six colours of the flag represent the colours of the aura that emanated from the body of the Buddha when He attained Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. The horizontal stripes represent the races of the world living in harmony and the vertical stripes represent eternal world peace. The colours symbolise the perfection of Buddhahood and the Dharma. Therefore, the overall flag represents that regardless of race, nationality, division or colour, all sentient beings possess the potential of Buddhahood. It is hung at monasteries, holy spots and the homes of Buddhist pratitioneers. It is also displayed during Buddhist rallies and during pilgrimages. These flags are sewn from individual strips of cotton fabric.

Tibetan Singing Bowl
Every handmade singing bowl is unique. This particular bowl is from the Himalayan country of Nepal where it was hand crafted using traditional hammer pounding technique, made recently for great sound. A beautiful golden bowl with a rich complex sound. This one plays around the rim very easily and well, with excellent sustain. It sings over a minute easily from a gong strike. It vibrates in D and E, the Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras with overtone A, the introspective 3rd Eye Chakra. The sound clip below is about 30 seconds of De from a light gong tap. A unique Himalayan prayer bell brought to you from Hither and Yon.
