Thank you I know there's no miracle like things it could do. But that I've asked about "*negative* and  *bad energy* (black magic)".

Ah. Thanks. I've added a sutta link for you to study.  Notice that a jet that crashes might have done so from the negative and bad energy of a terrorist. Each of us has that seed inside us of negative and bad energy, however. The sutta says this better than I can.

<p>May I use this Tibetan flag above door and will this protect house from negative and bad energy?<br>
I know importance of chanting <strong>OM MA NI PADME HUM.</strong><br>
So is it helpful or just <strong><em>feng shui</em></strong> thing?<br>
I thought to ask before having one above the main door.</p>

If it helps guard your and others' hearts as a summons to mindfulness it is quite useful.

If it is intended to ward off a jet falling from the sky it is not so useful.

If you are looking for a guard against "Negative and bad energy (black magic)" you are looking for a [place without fear](https://suttacentral.net/sn46.56/en/sujato).
