"The Tibetan Flag"

Presenting the Tibetan flag (as used from 1912 to 1950 - when it was banned by China):



Do you see what I see?

Here we have a completed pyramid, with a sun at the apex. Inside the pyramid are a pair of 'snow lions' blazing with the manes of fearlessness.

"The Snow Lion is an archetypal thoughtform confluence or personification of the primordial playfullness of 'joy' and 'bliss' somewhat energetically comparable to the western unicorn."

The Western Unicorn is significant, in that it contains a horn in the centre of its forehead. A spiritual third eye.

The three-coloured jewel held aloft represents the ever-present reverence respectfully held by the Tibetan people towards the Three Supreme Jewels (the Buddhist objects of refuge: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha). This could also be interpreted as the trinity.
