Chinese Symbols: Auspicious Swastica Sign

[Cecil Lee]

Although the Swastica sign is associated with Nazi Germany, the Swastica sign or emblem has been used much earlier by the Chinese especially buddhism.
The Swastica sign is considered auspicious by the buddhist. Schools have also been given the Swatica sign. In Singapore, there is a School called the Red Swastica School. (Using the Swatica sign but in Red).
It is sad that the sign has been associated the Nazi regime and if one sees such sign in China or elsewhere, it does not mean the association with Nazi Germany, far from it. Thus one should not be mistaken for this. You can call this `culture' shock. But if you understand the above, the better:)
Did Hitler, got his idea of the Swastica from a Chinese religious object?

Can you see the auspicious Swatica emblem on the toes of one of Buddha's foot? (in the attached picture?)

Young kindergarten children, whose school uses the Swastica sign.
As mentioned, previously, Swastica sign goes further then the bad name associated with Nazi Germany...

Please ignore the rubbish bins at the bottom of each of the photos.

This home in Tanjong Katong Road has fence motifs that resembles the Swastica
