The word PEACE and the five intentions behind it
This small garland does not carry a traditional mantra text but offers a modern, kind approach: the five flags together spell the English word PEACE, with a gentle intention assigned to each letter. P stands for practising generosity, E for expressing truth, A for acting with kindness, C for co-creating balance, and the closing E for experiencing joy. We offer you an object that provides both aesthetic pleasure and a quiet, everyday compass.
The advantages of the desk size
The 13 × 12.5 cm flags and the 93 cm cord form an intentionally small garland that you can comfortably place above a desk, stretched between the ends of a bookshelf or tied to a window handle. It is particularly popular in workplaces because it is unobtrusive yet reminds you of the five intentions while using a computer. With its weight of just 18 grams, it can be fixed with a single small pin or adhesive strip.
The Himalayan tradition in brief
According to tradition, in Himalayan countries with a Buddhist culture – Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan – the flags are hung outdoors so that the wind carries the blessing energy of the images and texts on them. Indoors, the role of the wind is partly taken over by air movement and fresh air entering through an open window. The five colours on the flags – blue, white, red, green, yellow – symbolise the five elements and the five Dhyani Buddhas.
Material, printing and durability
The garland is made from nylon, meaning it withstands weather and light effects relatively well. The print is single-sided, so it is worth hanging it so that the letters are readable from your side. With indoor use it has practically unlimited life, while outdoors it preserves its colours through one or two seasons before notable fading.
Where we recommend it and for what occasions
Many people buy it as a gift for a move, a new job or a life transition, because the word PEACE and the five intentions convey a message understandable to everyone. It also fits a meditation corner, a child's room or an office in need of a calmer atmosphere. If you feel after unpacking that the cord has become slightly tangled, it will straighten out on its own when hung up for a few hours.
