- Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to 'gods,' a common misconception, rather the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit to all.
By hanging flags in high places the "Wind Horse" will carry the blessings depicted on the flags to all beings. As wind passes over the surface of the flags which are sensitive to the slightest movement of the wind, the air is purified and sanctified by the Mantras.
The prayers of a flag become a permanent part of the universe as the images fade from exposure to the elements. Just as life moves on and is replaced by new life, Tibetans renew their hopes for the world by continually mounting new flags alongside the old. This act symbolizes a welcoming of life changes and an acknowledgment that all beings are part of a greater ongoing cycle.

- China has closed Mount Everest to climbers amid fears that activists could disrupt the Olympic torch ascent of the world's highest peak.
The announcement that Chinese authorities had halted access to its side of the mountain that straddles the border between Tibet and Nepal came amid reports of a third day of protests by Tibetan monks around Lhasa, the capital of Tibet.

- The Tibetan people believe that only a person with extremely good 'karma' will have the fortune of owning such a bead. Some Tibetans say they originated around 3000 BCE which would make some beads 5000 years old, however, it is unclear as to the exact place of origin, their time of manufacture, or even how long they have been in existence. The earliest known records of dZi are thought to date back to the time of King Gesar of Ling. It is widely believed that he reigned a little over 1000 years ago between the 7th and 9th Centuries CE. However, some historians say he could have lived even earlier (4th Century CE). The fact that they are shrouded in so much mystery is perhaps why they have become one of the most valuable beads known to man.
