Ligmincha's Store Unveils a Brand New Look!
Explore Our Remodeled Store at Windhorse.store
After months of planning and designing, and acquiring new inventory, Windhorse.store is now open at Serenity Ridge Retreat Center and online! Our shop is not new, but it is extensively remodeled and renamed. This is the first major revision to our store since 2001 when we first went online. We invite you to come visit online at any time and to visit in person during any Serenity Ridge retreat or by appointment.
In Tibetan, lung means air or wind, and ta means horse. So, Lungta is a windhorse - a divine and mythical creature who lifts up our energy and life-force, and carries our messages to the enlightened beings, gods and deities to enlist their support on our behalf. In Tibetan Buddhist traditions the windhorse is the central figure of many prayer flags which can be found all across Tibet and the Himalayan region. We chose this name because it inspires us, as we hope our products will help inspire your practice.
Our revamped shop has expanded our selection of thangkas, statues, malas and many other dharma related items. The new website has new clear images, better organization, and offers a much easier shopping experience. We also have added new descriptions for many of the dharma items. This is something that we will continue to expand, as part of Windhorse's mission is not only to provide quality dharma items, especially from the Bon tradition, but to provide education about the items we have available.
Many products are purchased directly from monasteries as a way to support their work. Other items are purchased with the help of our resident lamas directly from artists and craftspeople in Nepal, ensuring that they are fairly paid for their labor, skill and time. We also sell a wide variety of books from distributors around the world.
Our biggest change to the store is the addition of our dedicated shopkeeper, Jenn Rockwell. Jenn joined us last year and cares for the store with deep respect, wishing all to have a great experience and leave the shop feeling happy. She cares deeply for the tradition of Bon, and enjoys being immersed in the lineage, she values her time in the shop, getting to know folks during retreats, and spreading the dharma! It is Jenn who has re-organized the whole of our physical shop!
Windhorse.store not only supports practitioners by providing high-quality practice supports, but all profits go to fund the work of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche through Ligmincha International and Serenity Ridge Retreat Center in Virginia. Windhorse helps keep the cost of Serenity Ridge retreats, both online and in person, lower than they would otherwise need to be, and our contributions help maintain our retreat center. Your support enables us to make a lasting impact on the many individuals and their communities.
