This site not only sells fair trade goods, but also provides shows how fair trade benefits the producers of these goods, as well as telling the stories behind the items themselves.
From the site: "LARGE ANIMAL PRAYER FLAG
This classic Tibetan prayer flag is hand silk screened on cotton for Tibet Collection by the Tibetan Nuns Project in Dharamsala, India. A portion of each purchase helps to provide them with a safe environment for furthering their studies.
This flag has contains five mythical animals (clockwise from the upper left, Dragon, Garuda, Snowlion, Tiger and the Windhorse in the center), plus the eight auspicious signs.
The origin of printing prayer flags in Tibet is said to date back to the 11th century. The hanging of prayer flags is thought to promote good fortune and to dispel danger. In Tibet, they are called Lung-ta or Windhorse, named for the traditional character who carries the prayers to the universe. On his back are the triple gems of Buddhism - Buddha (teacher), Dharma (teachings) Sangha (monastic followers). The five flag colors represent the five elements: Blue - earth, White - water, Red - fire, Saffron - infinite space and Green - wind.
Enjoy the slow fading of color as they hang in the elements. To dispose of old flags with respect, please burn them. (16"h x 11"w x 5'l)"

Mind Training in Seven Points
Rated • 8 reviews • buddhism • unfetteredmind.org
Meditation, "mindfulness" and cognitive therapy have been recognized by psychotherapists as valid practices for increasing one's happiness level. This site explores mind-training from a buddhist point of view; and one thing that makes it unique is the wonderful Java "mind-map" interface for exploring the various stages presented. This makes the entire exercise a "WOW" experience, in more ways than just the visual. For those without Java, there is an alternative "mindmap" (go there to see it in its "unfettered" glory):

Sand Mandala

Sand Mandala
The sand sculptures reminded me to go hunting for a good mandala site.
From the pages: "During the closing ceremony, the monks dismantle the Mandala, sweeping up the colored sands to symbolize the impremanence of all that exists. "
These pages show the process used by Tibetan monks for creating these mandalas, with plenty of photographs to illustrate.
