Prayer Flags in Bhutan

moving wind
mowing flag
moving mind



Two monks were arguing about the temple flag waving in the wind.
One said: "The flag moves."
The other said: "The wind moves."
They argued back and forth but could not agree. Hui-neng, the Sixth Patriarch, said: "Gentlemen!
It is not the flag that moves.
It is not the wind that moves.
It is your mind that moves."

- Zen Koan
