Khatag Ceremonial Scarf

Khatags (offering-scarves - pron. khata) - being very inexpensive - are available to anyone who may wish to establish respectful contact between himself/herself and another person or deity. Most khatags are simple pieces of open weave fabric - usually cotton or silk. By their uniformity and simplicity they favour no individual and link up the hearts and minds of hundreds of people assembled within view of the living Buddha.By physical standards khatags are flimsy - but their physical qualities do not reveal their weightiness. Khatags weigh heavily only on the balance of belief that measures the power generated by a persons prayers - hopes and good wishes. It is as if their insubstantial nature allows for these intangible portions of mental power to be contained within. Like the wind - like the events of the mind - the khatag seems almost not to exist. This tenuous nature - verging on non existence - makes the khatag a perfect medium for sending greetings into the realm of the spirit.Extracted (with acknowledgements) from the excellent - highly-recommended book Tibetan Reflections - by Peter Gold (published by Wisdom Publications - London)
