Unfortunately, it is too well known in the west, as the Nazis chose it as their main symbol. In Sanskrit, swastika means &quot;conducive to well-being&quot;. In the Buddhist tradition, the swastika symbolizes the feet or footprints of the Buddha and is often used to mark the beginning of texts. Modern Tibetan Buddhism uses it as a clothing decoration. With the spread of Buddhism, it has passed into the iconography of China and Japan where it has been used to denote plurality, abundance, prosperity and long life.</a></span></p><p><span style="color: #0e774a"><a href="http://viewonbuddhism.org/general_symbols_buddhism.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://viewonbuddhism.org/general_symbols_buddhism.html" rel="nofollow">(In India, Hindus use the swastika to mark the opening pages of account books, thresholds, doors, and offerings, the right-hand swastika is a solar symbol and the left-hand version represents Kali and magic. Among the Jains it is the emblem of their seventh Tirthankara. Other uses of the symbol: in ancient Mesopotamia it was a favourite symbol on coinage, In Scandinavia it was the symbol for the god Thor&#039;s hammer. In early Christian art it was called the gammadion cross because it was made of four gammas. It is also found in Mayan and Navajo art.)</a></span></p><p><span style="color: #0e774a"><a href="http://viewonbuddhism.org/general_symbols_buddhism.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://viewonbuddhism.org/general_symbols_buddhism.html" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></span></p><p><span style="color: #0e774a"></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
