"A riderless horse speeds tirelessly across the heavens, carrying an auspicious faceted jewel that radiates peace and harmony. The snapping of prayer flags in the wind evokes the sound of hooves of the Windhorse (Lung-ta) galloping in the sky, riding the breezes and carrying prayers to the universe to benefit all sentient beings."
Tibetans have known for centuries that prayer flags, imprinted with sacred images and mantras, transmit blessings and healing energy into the world through the power of the wind. The Tibetan word for a horizontal prayer flag is "Lung ta", which translates literally as "wind horse." Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. They are also said to bring success, happiness, good health and prosperity for all who hang the flags and those touched by the wind. Odiyana Prayer Flags offers you high quality flags and banners from the great spiritual traditions of the world. They are manufactured according to fair trade principles.
