The Buddhist Flag
A much more recent symbol is the Buddhist flag. It
was in designed in 1880 by Colonel Henry Steele
Olcott an American journalist. It was first hoisted
in 1885 in Sri Lanka and is a symbol of faith and
peace, and is now used throughout the world to
represent the Buddhism.
The five colours of the flag represent the colours of the aura that emanated from the body of the Buddha when he attained Enlightenment.
