Product Profile: West Wind Flags
West Wind Flags
Inspired by my vision while trekking in the high
Himalaya of Nepal, I created West Wind Prayer
Flags. Since 2000 West Wind has been offering
prayer flags in English. Every year a new design
comes into being and is added to the line. So far I
offer Namaste Prayer Flags with messages of
universal spirituality, (the original West Wind set
in English), Global Peace Flags, Healing Flags,
Rainbow Flags and this year's new set:
Abundance Flags. And there are many more sets
in the works. I am passionate about my business
and love the wonderful connections I have with
customers, who often become friends. My belief is
that prayer flags contribute to the world in a
gentle, yet pervasive way, and make an impact.
Firmly grounded in 'Fair Trade', I am happy to be
working with a family of Tibetan Buddhist prayer
flag makers in Kathmandu, Nepal who make my
high quality flags from 100% fine cotton. We have
developed a wonderful relationship and I treasure
our interdependence. I have traveled to Nepal
three times and hope to visit again soon.
West Wind's mission (and my mission) is to
increase kindness, healing and peace; to benefit
all beings by generating abundant blessings on
the wind. I am happy to tithe 10% of profits to 'The
Hunger Project', in recognition and support of its
outstanding work to improve the lives of girls in
developing countries. For more info visit their web

West Wind Prayer Flags™ with blessings in
English, are created in the spirit of the ancient
Tibetan Buddhist tradition...where it is customary
to give and display prayer flags for special
occasions, new beginnings and always for the
New Year. For over a thousand years the
Tibetans have been displaying prayer flags to
benefit all beings. My hope is that this is just the
beginning of a prayer flag tradition in the west.
Namaste and be well,
France Robinson
