Her name, Lungta, is a Tibetan word which translates literally to 'wind horse'. Although the literal meaning is appropriate, the name was chosen for its spiritual meaning in Tibetan Buddhism. The 'wind' refers to the fundamental energy or goodness associated with existence, and the 'horse' aspect refers to the ability to harness this energy in our daily lives.
