"The six vertical bands of the flag represent the six colors of the aura which Buddhists believe emanated from the body of the Buddha when he attained Enlightenment:

Blue (Nīla): Loving kindness, peace and universal compassion

Yellow (Pīta): The Middle Path – avoiding extremes, emptiness

Red (Lohita): The blessings of practice – achievement, wisdom, virtue, fortune and dignity

White (Odāta): The purity of Dharma – leading to liberation, outside of time or space

Orange (Manjesta): The Buddha's teachings – wisdom

The sixth vertical band, on the fly, is made up of a combination of rectangular bands of the five other colours, and represents a compound of the other five colours in the aura's spectrum. This compound colour is referred to as Pabbhassara ('essence of light')"
