BUDDHIST FLAG

Buddhism shall be the State religion (Chapter III, article 43 of the institution of Kingdom of Cambodia). What does the Buddhist flag symbilize? What does each colour represent?

There are six colours on the flag:
1. Blue: signifying the concept of loving kindness and peace in Buddhism.
2. Yellow: signifying the Middle Path, that is, the complete absence of form and emptiness A mind free from greed, anger and ignorance.
3. Red: signifying achievement, wisdom, virtue, fortune and dignity.
4. White : signifying purity, emancipation, that the Dharma will always exist regardless of time or space.
5. Orange: The essence of Buddhism which is full of wisdom, strength and dignity.
6. The combination of these five colours symbolizes that it is the one and only Truth.
