Free Desktop Wallpaper for July: Tibetan Prayer Flags, Nepal.

This month’s desktop wallpaper comes from Boudha near Kathmandu in Nepal and shows prayer flags flying from the Stupa. The slideshow beneath shows a printer in a small side-street near the stupa printing lines of prayers on the colourful rectangles of cloth using traditional woodblock printing techniques.

These “Lung Ta” prayer flags release their prayers into the breeze, carrying blessings and prayers asking for increased life, fortune, health and wealth. For a small fee it is possible to purchase a string of prayer flags and, after making offerings and having them blessed, to have them strung from the top to the foot of the stupa. But these prayer flags are yours for free. I hope they bring you much good fortune and happiness.
