Why is the buddhist flag important to people? ☺♥♥

The Buddhist flag, primarily hoisted in 1885 in Sri Lanka, is a symbol of confidence and calm used throughout the world to represent the Buddhist faith. The six colours of the flag symbolize the colors of the aura that originated from the body of the Buddha when He achieved Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. The horizontal band of colors represent the races of the world living in accord and the vertical band of color represent everlasting world peace. The colours represent the perfection of Buddhahood and the Dharma.
