What does windhorse mean?
Wind Horse, called Lung Ta in Tibetan, is the name of a particular kind of prayer flag, which are always seen on mountain tops, high passes, bridges, by the river side, on the family houses and monasteries in Tibet. Lung Ta is important to all Tibetans.
The flags normally have a horse in the middle and in the four coners are the four majestic mystical animals, the snow-lion, garuda, dragon and tiger, which represent heavenly qualities.
Lung Ta is a prayer. When the wind catches the flags, the prayer printed on them are carried on the breeze and distributed for the benefit of all living things. The purpose of Lung Ta is to entreat the Wind Horse to intercede on our behalf, by petitioning Buddhist deities and protectors, to give us good fortune and to remove obstacles from our way. We pray for the well-being of all creatures and give thanks for our life by Lung Ta, and still hope you will be well and have a safe journey with us.
