While Walking through a native plant sanctuary in Mexico I felt like I was in the center of the Earth a Navel almost. Getting back to the entrance I came upon these prayer flags and marker that said this place had been declared a Peace Zone by the Dali Lama.
May everywhere we walk be a Zona de Paz on Earth Day and everyday.

If only we could have peace by declaring a peace zone, it would be grand! 🙂

Nice solution to the challenge today, Carol. Here in NorCal we are certainly in tune with the availability and abundance of water after so many years of drought.

We need more peace gardens. I bought some prayer flags last weekend but I haven’t hung them up yet because I wasn’t sure how to go about it. Now I will foolow the Dalai Lama’s lead. Thanks for the inspiration.

Good for you What I know of prayer flags is that you put them up were they catch a breeze sending out prayers on the wind. Hope to see your flags on a post, Suzanne.

Thanks Carol. Yes, I agree with that idea about the flags. I just felt I needed to give them a prayer to take to the heavens in these troubled times. I like the idea of focusing on the Dalai Lama’s peace message while I hang them up. 🙂 I guess I just like to bring a little ritual and recognition of the sacred into my life these days – there is so little of it out there in world.

What a lovely idea. 😘Yes a ritual in everyday life is what we do need now. When I was in Nepal prayer flags flew around every corner reminding us life is sacred. The characters on the flags are prayers that coincide with the colors. I wish I remembered what they were.

That’s interesting. I heard that the words were “Om Mani Padme Hum”. You have made me wonder what else they say. I’ll do some research tomorrow and see what I can find out. (it’s too cold and late over here now. 🙂 )

I found this internet site that explains the meanings of the different colours – http://www.indiatimes.com/lifestyle/self/8-things-you-should-know-about-tibetan-prayer-flags-before-hanging-them-up-257899.html. I will go and hang the flags up in my garden now.

I looked them up the other night too. Please Post a Picture of your flags.
I keep meaning to stop buy the Tibetan store and get some flags. Because of Mountain Travel we are fortunate to have a big Tibetan population in Berkley and Albany.
