some (maybe) interesting stuff for the curious to know

Here’s some information I’ve pieced together from various sources about symbolism and history of the Tibetan National flag:

Symbolism:

“1. The white snow mountain in the center depicts the land of the great nation of Tibet.

2. The six red rays emanating from the sun symbolize the six original peoples of Tibet: the Se, My, Dong, Tong, Dru, and Ra.

3. The blue rays symbolize the commitment to spiritual and secular rule.

4. The pair of snow-lions symbolize the complete victory of the spiritual and secular ruling government

5. The three-sided yellow border represents the spread and flourishing of the Buddha’s purified gold-like teachings in all directions and times. The side without a border represents Tibet’s openness to non-Buddhist thought.

6. The raised jewel symbolizes Tibet’s reverence for the three Precious Gems; the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.” (Int’l Campaign for Tibet)

7.”The two coloured swirling jewel held between the two lions represents the peoples’ guarding and cherishing the self discipline of correct ethical behaviour, principally represented by the practices of the ten exalted virtues and the 16 humane modes of conduct. The swirling jewel coincidentally shares some appearance resemblance with the yin and yang symbol from Taoism.” (Tibet.com)

History:

The flag of Tibet was reintroduced in 1912 by the 13th Dalai Lama, who united the army flags of various provinces to design the present one. Since then, it served as the all-Tibet military flag until 1950.” (Wikipedia
