Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit to all. Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five, one in each of five colors. The five colors represent the elements, Five Pure Lights and are arranged from left to right in a specific order. Different elements are associated with different colors for specific traditions, purposes and sadhana: and the Blue (symbolizing sky/space)White (symbolizing air/wind) Red (symbolizing fire) Green (symbolizing water) Yellow (symbolizing earth) Shipped from Seattle, WA (USA).
