[FONT=&quot]Fragrance Of Virtue Wafts To Heaven[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Faint is this fragrance
of lavender and sandalwood,
but fragrance of the virtuous
soars sublime amongst the gods.

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Explanation: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The fragrance of lavender and sandalwood is quite slight. Why? Because it is limited in this world. Such a fragrance can spread only on earth. This way it is a very slight fragrance. But, the sweet smell of virtue is, in contrast, supreme, because it spreads not only throughout the earth, it rises even to the highest heavens.

Death Cannot Trace The Path Of Arahats

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Of those with perfect virtue
who dwell in heedfulness,
freed by Final Knowledge
Mara cannot know their path.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Explanation: [/FONT]Of those noble one, who are perfect in behaviour, living constantly alert, fully aware of the experience within, Mara, the evil one, does not know their destiny. Mara can trace only the slothful dead. He cannot trace those who have reach the Deathless.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=+5]I[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]nternational [SIZE=+5]Budd[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]h[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ist [SIZE=+5]Flag[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE]
[/SIZE]Recognized by All Buddhist Traditions

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]T[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]he Buddhist flag, first hoisted in 1885 in Sri Lanka, is a symbol of faith and peace used throughout the world to represent the Buddhist faith.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The six colors; Blue (nila), Yellow (pita), Red (lohita), White (odata), Scarlet (manjestha), and the mixture of these six colors (prabaswara) of the flag represent the colors of the aura that emanated from the body of the Buddha when He attained Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. [/FONT] ​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Horizontal Stripes represent the races of the world living in harmony and the Vertical Stripes represent eternal world peace. The colors symbolize the perfection of Buddhahood and the Dharma. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Blue light that radiated from the Buddha's hair symbolizes the spirit of Universal Compassion for all beings. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Yellow light that radiated from the Buddha's epidermis symbolizes the Middle Way which avoids all extremes and brings balance and liberation. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Red light that radiated from the Buddha's flesh symbolizes the blessings that the practice of the Buddha's Teaching brings. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The White light that radiated from the Buddha's bones and teeth symbolizes the purity of the Buddha's Teaching and the liberation it brings. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Orange light that radiated from the Buddha's palms, heels and lips symbolizes the unshakable Wisdom of the Buddha's Teaching. The Combination Color symbolizes the universality of the Truth of the Buddha's Teaching. (Burmese Buddhist replaced with Pink.)[/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Therefore, the overall flag represents that: [/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Regardless of race, nationality, division or color, all sentient beings possess the potential of Buddhahood.
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The six colors are better interpreted as :

[/FONT]​

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1. Blue: signifying the concept of loving kindness and peace in Buddhism [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2. Yellow: signifying the Middle Path, that is, the complete absence of form and emptiness [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]3. Red: signifying achievement, wisdom, virtue, fortune and dignity.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]4. White: signifying purity, emancipation, that the Dharma will always exist regardless of time or space.
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]5. *Orange: The essence of Buddhism which is full of wisdom, strength and dignity.
[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]6. The combination of these five colors symbolizes that it is the one and only Truth.

[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The horizontal bars signify peace and harmony between all races through out the world while the vertical bars represent eternal peace within the world. In simple terms, the Buddhist Flag implies that there is no discrimination of races, nationality, areas or skin color; that every living being possess the Buddha Nature and all have the potential to become a Buddha.[/FONT]
