I live in West Seattle and I'm a Buddhist. Is it any surprise that I take pictures of Tibetan prayer flags in my hood? And there seem to be a lot of fellow dharmabums in West Seattle.
Call me idealist, call me naive. I like to think the proliferation of Wind Horse reflects the spread of the dharma here in West Seattle as elsewhere. Seeing a prayer flag fluttering in the breeze makes me smile. We are not alone...
It's come to my attention that even the chickens in West Seattle hoist prayer flags too! Is it any wonder I love this side of the Bridge.
If you're going to hang prayer flags, make sure the blue flag is on the left as you look at it. Some believe that there are auspicious days for hanging prayer flags. The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition has a calendar to assist you in selecting a day.
