What are prayer flags?

For a thousand years, Tibetan Buddhists have been hanging these flags on mountain passes, around their homes and temples. From Wikipedia: The center of a prayer flag traditionally features a Lung ta (powerful or strong horse) bearing three flaming jewels (specifically ratna) on its back. The Ta is a symbol of speed and the transformation of bad fortune to good fortune. The three flaming jewels symbolize the Buddha, the Dharma (Buddhist teachings), and the Sangha (Buddhist community), the three cornerstones of Tibetan philosophical tradition. Surrounding the Lung ta are various versions of approximately 400 traditional mantras, each dedicated to a particular deity.
