AUGUST 2021
We just launched a new collection of Wind Horse prayer flags on our website. Many customers requested medium sized prayer flags , smaller than our Standard Prayer Flag Sets (14"x18") and Larger than the flags in our Mini- Flag Sets (6"x8"). We looked through the carved woodblocks and screens stored at our Kathmandu Studio and found an 8"x10" Wind Horse design that is very traditional and nicely drawn. This design comes in 5 color sets sewn on rope: Sets of 5 (3'8" long), 10 (7'-2" long) and 25 (approx. 30' long). There is 12'' of extra rope on both ends. The prices are $12, $16, and $30 respectively.
The Wind Horse Flag (Tibetan: Lung-ta) is the most popular type of Tibetan prayer flag. Carrying the flaming Jewel of Enlightenment, the Wind Horse symbolizes the uplifting lIfe force energy that brings good fortune. Raising ones "Lung-ta" increases health, wealth and power. Putting up Wind Horse prayer flags is one of the easiest and most effective ways to raise one's "Lung-ta" and benefit beings in the vicinity.
Also pictured on this traditional prayer flag are the "Four Dignities": the Garuda (wisdom), the Dragon (gentle power) the Snow Lion (fearless joy), and the Tiger (confidence).
The text is composed of mantras associated with more than 20 deities. Tibetan Deities are aspects of enlightened energy such as compassion, wisdom, power, health, wealth, etc. 
If you like the Wind Horse Symbol, we have a few other items in which you may be interested. The yellow prints in our mixed sets of wood block printed, screen printed and Mini prayer flags are Wind Horse designs. The Large Wind Horse Single Print (19"x26") is one of the most popular prints with Tibetan Lamas. It is suitable for hanging indoors or out or can be framed. One of the 13 designs of our DharmaCaps has an embroidered Wind Horse. Click on the photos below, if you want more information.
THIS MONTH'S PRACTICE & NAGA OFFERING CALENDARS
The 7th month of the Tibetan year begins August 9 and goes until September 1. 
During this month the Nagas are partaking and enjoying the essences of their food. If you make offerings to them on a teb day (+) this month, your environment will not suffer from drought and you will never go hungry. If you make offerings to the Nagas during a dok day, no Naga will attend your ceremony - which means no result.
There are many very good "teb" days to perform offering ceremonies for the nagas during this month – especially auspicious are August 9, 18, 26, 28, 29, 30.  
There are only four days that are doks. Avoid doing Naga pujas on August, 10, 14, 16, 17.
We apprectiate feedback from our customers; encouragement ,suggestions and constructive criticism.

We also appreciate photos of prayer flags on display, especially ones you got from us.
