Chapter 3 - Rituals
In Buddhism, bracelets made of red, white, and yellow threads are known as
“Lungta'' or “windhorse” bracelets, commonly worn by practitioners for protection and as a symbol of good luck. Each color symbolizes a different aspect:
Red represents the element of fire and is associated with power transformation, and the life force.
White represents the element of air and symbolizes wisdom, purity, and the achievement of mental peace
Yellow presents the element of earth and is associated with prosperity, growth, and the development of compassion.
By wearing these bracelets with these colors, practitioners seek to harness the positive energies and qualities represented by each color to bring harmony, protection, and blessings into their lives.
