 The
Buddhist flag was designed by Colonel Henry Stell Olcott
in 1952. He was inspired by the colours of aura that emulated
from the body of Buddha when he attained Enlightenment.
The six colours are blue, yellow, red,
white, orange and a combination of
the former five colours. The flag is vertically divided
into six equal parts, filled with each of the six colours.
The combination of the six colours represents the different
colour skins of all the races around the world. The horizontal
stripes in the flag represent all human beings in the
world living in harmony. The vertical stripes represent
world peace eternally.
