In response to the question of why I fly prayers flags/Tibetan flag:
After the killings in Lhasa and with the Olympics approaching in Beijing, I decided to hang the Tibetan flag I had purchased in Dharamsala in 2000, along with my regularly flying prayer flags as a silent protest. It is still hanging in front of my house with the hope that it can encourage examination and wise action.
