"The Independent Press Awards are selected by the editors of Utne Reader magazine to 'honour independent efforts that provide bold, innovative, thought-provoking alternatives to mass media fare.' The New Internationalist magazine won the inaugural 1989 award for International Coverage. Since then, the magazine has won the award for 'Best International Coverage' another seven times. In the year 2000 the New Internationalist also won the highly valued readers' poll."
- Utne Reader - global Independent Press Awards.
"The New Internationalist is exactly the sort of intelligent, committed and progressive publication which here at The Chaser, we strongly disapprove of."
- Julian Morrow - The Chaser
"New Internationalist is a magazine well worth reading as it respects the intelligence of its readers. It is independent, lively and properly provocative, helping to keep its readers abreast of important developments in parts of our globe that risk marginalisation. Read it!."
- Desmond M Tutu - Archbishop of Cape Town
"I wouldn't wipe my arse with the New Internationalist. Absorbing is one thing. Absorbent is another."

Tibetan Prayer Flags
For the verandah or garden... or the mountain top

Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. Tibetans believe that hanging these horizontal prayer flags (called lung ta or "Wind Horse" in Tibetan) in high places will carry the blessings depicted on the flags to all beings. Hang them around your garden to show your support for the Tibetan people, and bring peace to your home.

Unknown in other branches of Buddhism, prayer flags are believed to have originated with Bön, which predated Buddhism in Tibet. The prayers become a permanent part of the universe as the images fade from exposure, and just as life moves on and is replaced by new life, Tibetans renew their hopes for the world by continually mounting new flags alongside the old, welcoming life's changes and acknowledging that all beings are part of a greater ongoing cycle. Old prayer flags are replaced with new ones annually during the Tibetan New Year.

Because the symbols and mantras on prayer flags are sacred, they should be treated with respect. Please don't place them on the ground or use them in clothing. Old prayer flags should be burned.

25 flags, 16 x 20 cm each, on a 5.4 metre cord.
