And, while we are at it, a symbol in Buddism also. I remember a few years ago the Falan Dafa held a huge rally in New York over their persecution in China -- and unveiled a giant 50 foot swaskita as their banner. Lots of confused Jews sat around wondering why there were so many Chinese Nazis.

The swastika also appears as an architectual symbol in places all over the world -- including the Spanish Portugese Synagouge in New York (built in the 19th century). I've been there a few times, it freaks me out to see stain-glass swaskitas everywhere.

Thanks for the interesting information. I knew it had eastern religious significance, but didn't know they use it currently in Buddhism. The stained glass windows -- that must be unique! Thx again.
