The Wind Horse (Tib. Lung-ta),
a mythical Tibetan creature from
pre-Buddhist times, combines
the speed of the wind
and the strength of the horse
to carry prayers from earth
to the heavens.
Not surprisingly in a country where
the horse was used by the traditional
nomads of Tibet.
It is associated with success
and the space element.
The Wind Horse carrying the
“Wish Fulfilling Jewel of Enlightenment”
is the most prevalent symbol used on prayer flags.
It represents good fortune;
the uplifting life force energies
and opportunities that make things go well.
When one’s lung-ta is low obstacles
constantly arise.
When lung-ta is high good
opportunities abound.
Raising Wind Horse prayer flags
is one of the best ways to raise one’s lung-ta energy.
