Buddhist Flag Trucker Hat

The Buddhist flag is a flag designed in the late 19th century to symbolise and universally represent Buddhism. It is used by Buddhists throughout the world. The six vertical bands of the flag represent the six colors of the aura which Buddhists believe emanated from the body of the Buddha when he attained Enlightenment: Blue (Nila): Loving kindness, peace and universal compassion Yellow (Pita): The Middle Path – avoiding extremes, emptiness Red (Lohita): The blessings of practice – achievement, wisdom, virtue, fortune and dignity White (Odata): The purity of Dharma – leading to liberation, outside of time or space Orange (Manjesta): The Buddha's teachings – wisdom The sixth vertical band, on the fly, is made up of a combination of rectangular bands of the five other colors, and represents a compound of the other five colors in the aura's spectrum. This compound color is referred to as Pabbhassara ('essence of light'). Globe Trotters specialises in idiosyncratic imagery from around the globe.
