When the wind blows the flags, blessing and compassion embodied in the image spread across all directions until image on the flags fades into the universe.

Ideally, there are hanged on high ridges, mountain passes, even Mt.Everest as Tenzin Norgyal and Hillary posted in 1960s. These days, lungta flag can easily hang on doors, windows, tree branches etc. As a Tibetan, we are a bit of superstitious and our consciousness simmers along luck and good fortunes.
