Raising Lungta with Prayer flags with Tsering Wangmo Khymsar

In this self-guided course, which is available to take at any time, Khandro Tsering Wangmo Khymsar shares everything you need to know to raise lungta (windhorse) prayer flags. Included in her series of videos is a discussion of lungta (luck, prosperity and positive energy), what it is, how to maintain it and how it can be lost. Tsering-la teaches about the symbols and meaning of lungta prayer flags, when they should be raised, and when not to raise them. Participants will learn how to use prayer flags to lift their own energy, spirit and general well-being, or do so on behalf of others.

The course includes audio files of Geshe Denma Gyaltsen singing all of the mantras and prayers for this ritual, which you can download and use for yourself. PDF files of the prayers, sacred images, lists of needed ingredients and more also are included.

This is the first Ligmincha Learning course to teach a traditional Tibetan Bonpo skill or ritual. Now in development is a course with Lama Kalsang Nyima that will teach how to construct a Yeshe Walmo namkha. Namkhas are a traditional form of art made with strings and sticks used to represent one's yidam deity.

Transforming Our Emotions Through the Six Lokas with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
At one time or another each of us suffer strong emotions that throw us off balance, cause us to act in ways that we later regret and make us lose touch with our true nature. Centuries ago the masters of the Bon lineage developed the meditations of the Six Lokas specifically to remedy this situation, to help us live our lives in a balanced and relaxed way.

The meditations focus on the root causes of our suffering, which are anger, desire, greed, ignorance, jealousy and pride. Through each meditation we examine our habitual patterns so that we may recognize them, then through the enlightened energy of the Buddhas to purify and transform them so that we and all other beings might not continue to suffer in this way. The practices have a deep healing and transformative power, and are traditionally practiced at length as a preliminary to dzogchen contemplation.
