Prayer Flags on Karmapa's Land

The Peaceful and Calming Victory Flag
Melodious Song of the Battle Victorious over Maras

Two rising curves of pure gold are great joy's loving ,smile;

Vibrant blue reflects the ultimate, dharmakaya lit by
a vigorous and youthful sun; sphere of light,
this hand draws
and plays, gathering into the glide of an image the unity
of the profound and vast, the peaceful and soothing.

Throughout existence, may the victory banner of the Buddha's
teachings resound its famous melodious song.

My Dharma friends and I hung prayer flags on Montana Mt.
on Karampa's land. He came to the land in 1977, blessed it and named it
Karma Gyurme Ling.

Climbing the main pole to hang more prayer flags.

The house where I took refuge when I was five, as it stands today.

The same house when it was still erect in 1977.
