Brief Windhorse Practice of Tārā


Lungta
 generally referred as wind horse, is linked to one's fortune and luck, either at the time of birth or for a given year. It reflects our capacity to keep bad circumstances away. Lungta acts as coordinator and binder of all life forces. If one’s lungta is weak, one will be unfortunate and unlucky. One’s reputation may be at stake and it may be difficult to achieve anything. New projects such as starting a business will be unsuccessful. 

The good thing is there is way to increase one’s lungtag. Our weak lungta can be strengthened by either hoisting Lungta flag or reciting lungta prayer.

This brief practice given below calls upon the goddess Tara and other deities to grant their inspiration and blessings, so that the practitioner's lifespan, merit, prosperity, renown, good fortune, magnetism (Wang tang) and 'windhorse' (Lung ta) may all increase.
