Tibetans believe that the prayers (or blessings) printed on each flag in Tibetan script are activated by the physical motion of blowing wind and are thus transmitted outward into the cosmos. The flags will eventually fade, tear, and disintegrate into nothingness, which is a perfect analogy for the nature of personal consciousness in the Buddhist worldview.
