This month we are featuring an interesting prayer flag that is in a category of "specialty flags." In Tibetan it is known as "Mig-thong," meaning "Thousand Eyes". It is also called the Mik-Kha Reversing Flag. Mik-Kha, literally meaning "bad talk," or "back-biting." Malicious gossip causes obstacles, accidents and loss of wealth.
The purpose of the Mik-Kha Reversing Flag is to send the negative energy back to the perpetrators; not necessarily in a destructive way, but in a pacifying way. If it's known from what direction the negative energy is coming (like a neighbor), the flag is placed to face that direction. It can be hung in the wind to disseminate it's vibration in all directions.
Description
The top panel contains symbols for the sun and moon. Below them are a Lotus (purification of karma), the Flaming Sword of Wisdom, and the Vajra (Indestructibility).
The next panels show 50 pairs of eyes (We're watching you!) and then 100 of the word "Kha," meaning mouth or speech.
The next panel down has the text that translates:
"Om Mani Padme Hum Hri! (Chenrezig's 6 syllable mantra that purifies the 6 realms of existence).
Hur Thum - May gossip and bad talk be expelled!
Rilirili Om Mahadeva, sever the life force of enemies!
Bhyo - transform gossip and bad talk!
May people's gossip, especially my enemies be entirely and completely expelled. Bhyo! Bhyo! expelled, expelled. Expel the negative talk and poison spit of all gossipers! Expel the Wild Ones! Expel evil spirits! Expel epidemics and infectious diseases! Expel quarrelsome enemies, thieves and enemy armies! May all harmful and negative talk from the four main and eight intermediate directions, where the Sun moves, and all enemies with evil thoughts toward me be completely, entirely, and altogether expelled! Bhyo! Bhyo!"
