What does the swastika mean?

The swastika, pronounced "wàn," is one of the 32 phases of the Buddha. It is one of the thirty-two phases of the Buddha. The Sanskrit name of this phase is Mouri Mochiloshana, and the Chinese translation is "Auspicious Sea Cloud Phase", which means it is only a symbol, not a word. The swastika means auspicious. However, in Buddhism, the right is the right way, for example, to salute the Buddha, one must go around three times on the right side, and the white hair between the eyebrows of the Buddha is also rotated on the right side, so the swastika rotated on the right side is the auspicious symbol, and the swastika rotated on the left side is not the auspicious symbol. It is a mistake for people in the world to turn the swastika to the left without knowing how to verify it. The swastika is a symbol of the Buddha's boundless power, which extends infinitely in all directions. The swastika is a symbol of the boundless power of the Buddha, which extends infinitely in all directions, manifesting itself endlessly and providing relief and benefit to an infinite number of sentient beings in the ten directions without end.　Note: The shape of the swastika The swastika is the Sanskrit name of Srivatsalaksana (室利靺蹉洛刹娜), which is translated as "auspicious sea cloud phase" in Chinese. It can be seen that it is only a symbol, a banner symbolizing "great auspiciousness". This symbol of great auspiciousness is either rotated to the right, the swastika, or to the left, the swastika. In recent times, the right or left rotation has been debated. However, most people believe that rightward rotation is right and leftward rotation is wrong, for the following reasons:

The right and the left are standardized by the right and the left of His Holiness.　Although there are many schools of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, all of them use the swastika with a right-handed twist.　In the Dictionary of Buddhism edited by Ding Fubao, a great Buddhist scholar in modern China, it is said: ...... However, if its shape is rotated to the right, it is a swastika. For example, if one honors the Buddha, one goes around the Buddha three times to the right, and the white hairs between the Buddha's eyebrows are rotated to the right, and the right rotation is always auspicious. In ancient times, there was a swastika, but it was a mistake. Goryeo's version of the Tibetan scriptures and Huilin's sound and meaning of the 21st Avatamsaka Yinyi are all made of swastikas. In addition, the right-turned swastika was recorded as Wan03

●The Dictionary published by the Chinese Bookstore has the phrase "the error of the swastika" under the article "swastika", which is a strict statement that the left-turned swastika is actually the error of the right-turned swastika.　The Japanese Nobuharu Wangetsu Buddhist Dictionary uses the right-turned swastika in its article on the swastika.　The Japanese Tantric Dictionary of Buddhism uses the right-turned swastika in its article on the swastika: "In Buddhism, the right-turned swastika is considered to be the correct character." And the editor of this dictionary believes that "the appearance of the swastika in recent Buddhist texts may be due to the convenience of writing by later generations."　The Oxford English Dictionary, published by the University of Oxford, England, and the Wechsler International Dictionary, the most authoritative dictionary in the United States, state in the article "Swastika" that this symbol is usually rotated to the right, i.e., the swastika.　The swastika is right-turned in accordance with the Buddhist tradition of honoring the right. In Buddhism, the right represents the right path, the right action, and the right result, as opposed to the left-hand path of the world. There are numerous examples of Buddhism's emphasis on the right, the most notable of which are: ● Sakyamuni Buddha was born from his mother's right side, and his hair and the white hair between his eyebrows are all right-turned.　His hair and the white hair between his eyebrows are all right-side-up. ● Buddhist rituals, such as circumambulation of the Buddha, circumambulation of the pagoda, and circumambulation of the sutra, are all right-side-up.　Therefore, we can say with certainty that the swastika on the Buddha's chest must also be right-turned, never left-turned contrary to the Buddhist tradition of honoring the right.　Some people say that the swastika was used by the Nazi party in Germany, so we want to avoid any misunderstanding by the world and use the swastika instead. In fact, the Nazis used a 45-degree diagonal swastika, whereas Buddhists use a square swastika. How can a Buddhist with a correct view change the "auspicious sea cloud phase" symbol, which is one of the thirty-two phases of the ten Buddhas, because of such a specious reason, and is it not a sin to confuse the public with a falsehood?　It is for these reasons that this glossary firmly adopts the right-handed swastika. At the same time, we also hope that our fellow Buddhists will follow good advice and adopt the swastika with a right-handed rotation in all future publications of Buddhist classics and books, on statues and buildings, or wherever the swastika is used as a banner, so that the orthodox swastika, a symbol of great good fortune, will shine brightly, and the Buddhists will be greatly blessed, as well as the people!　FROM: A Common Dictionary of Buddhism, edited by Chen Yixiao

Editing the origin of the character

The swastika (Sanskrit svastika, a symbol of good luck) or swastika, is an ancient Indian religious symbol of good luck. In the Tang Dynasty of China, Wu Zetian designated the swastika as a right-handed symbol, which is pronounced "wan", meaning "a collection of auspicious virtues". The Buddhist writing of the swastika

Traditional Chinese tattoos have used this symbol in the character Wan less than the head.　The form of the swastika is based on the cross with its four arms oriented at 90° to the left and to the right. Generally, the swastika is drawn either upright or inclined at an angle of 45°. In the original Indian form of the swastika, each of the four strokes also includes a point. The swastika is right-handed and the swastika is left-handed.　In the primitive Tibetan religion of Benjaminism, the swastika (g.yung drung) is a symbol of "eternity", and is written as such because the Buddhist scripture roller used in Tibetan Buddhism turns from left to right. In Western languages, the swastika is called swastika, which is derived from the Sanskrit word for swastika. An auspicious symbol of ancient Indian religion. The swastika is found on the chest of Rudraksha Buddha, who appears in golden light. In China, the swastika was pronounced "wan" by Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty. Means "the collection of all virtues of good fortune". It is also written as "swastika" in Buddhist scriptures.　Chinese Buddhist translation of the swastika is not consistent, a scripture of the Northern Wei Dynasty translated it into the word "Wan", the Tang Dynasty Xuanzang and others will be translated into the word "Virtue", emphasizing the Buddha's The Tang Dynasty female emperor Wu Zetian made it the word "Wan", meaning all auspicious virtues under the sun. "The swastika can be written in two ways, one right-handed and the other left-handed ("swastika"). Most Buddhists believe that the swastika should be written in a right-handed manner, as Buddhism recognizes right-handedness as auspicious, and all Buddhist ceremonies are performed in a right-handed manner. This mystical symbol, which is regarded by Buddhists as auspicious and meritorious, was actually used by Hitler, the head of German fascism, as his party flag symbol. Of course this has nothing to do with Buddhism. Hitler himself designed the party flag as a white circle with a white center on a red background, with a black swastika embedded in the center. Hitler was very pleased with the design and considered it "a true symbol". In his book Mein Kampf he said, "The red symbolizes the social significance of our movement, the white symbolizes the nationalist idea. The 'swastika' symbolizes the mission of the victorious struggle for the Aryans." Later, Hitler also designed swastika armbands and swastika banners for his storm troopers and party members.　There are several theories as to why Hitler chose the swastika as his symbol. One theory is that it was based on the name of the Nazi party. The name of the Nazi Party means "National Socialist Party", and in German, the initials for "state" and "society" are both "s". In German, the initials for "state" and "society" are both "s", and when they are interlocked and overlapped, they form the swastika. However, the Buddhist swastika is gold and the Nazi swastika is black. Another theory was put forward by American scholar Robert Payne. According to Payne, Hitler grew up with a strong desire to worship authority and pursue power. When he was a child, there was an old monastery near his home, whose aisles, stone wells, monks' seats and the sleeves of the abbot's coat were decorated with swastikas. Hitler admired the power of the abbot and saw the swastika as a symbol of his authority. He hoped that he would one day have the same supreme authority as the Abbot. Payne believes that this is why he later chose the swastika as his party's flag symbol. Another theory is that Hitler was influenced by an anti-Semitic organization called the Knights of the New Templar. This organization believed that the Aryans were the best of the best, and that their purity must be preserved if there was to be any hope for the world. This was in line with Hitler's views. The promoter of this organization was a preacher and astrologer who read Hitler's fortune and predicted that he would be the one to rock the world later on. Hitler was encouraged by these words. The symbol of the organization was the swastika. That's why he chose this symbol when he designed the party flag later.　This mysterious swastika designation drove countless Nazis crazy, and they gathered under this flag to do all sorts of bad things. After the defeat of the fascists in the Second World War, the symbol was crushed. However, in November 2000, a British journalist photographed a swastika made up of trees in a jungle 110 kilometers from Berlin. It consists of 48 trees of different species from the surrounding trees, 60 meters in length and width, with clear lines and obvious symbols. The 48 trees are larch trees surrounded by evergreen conifers. There is no difference between them in spring and summer, but in late fall and early winter, the leaves of the larch trees gradually turn yellow, and a yellow swastika stands out. It was found that this was planted by a French countryside landowner during the time of Hitler's rampant activities. When the photo was published, there was an immediate outcry, calling on the French government to remove it immediately. French law also does not allow the public display of swastikas in any setting, so this swastika of trees was quickly eliminated. Hitler of Nazi Germany consulted a sinologist and learned that the swastika, the natural symbol of the Nazis, came from China, so he sent out a vast force of camouflaged archaeological cultures backed by airplanes to ascend on foot to Tibet, the cradle of Buddhism . It is true that the swastika is commonly used in Buddhism, and it is the symbol of the swastika on the chest of Buddha Rudraksha. I wonder if Hitler found the natural swastika in Tibet. Indeed, the Chinese characterist is right, the swastika is one of the symbols of wisdom of Chinese culture. From the I Ching, the swastika and the swastika are used interchangeably. The swastika is pronounced (contemporary): "Wan", which means wealth. The swastika is pronounced (contemporary): "Fu", good fortune and virtue. The symbol is also used by the Zen sect of Chinese Buddhism. The Avatamsaka Sutra 65 scrolls into the Dharma Realm Pin: "The chest is marked with the swastika, and the seven places are flat and full." Hui Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, "Huayan Yinyi": "The swastika is not a word, Zhou Changshou two years, the right to make this text, the sound is Wan, said auspicious ten thousand virtues of the collection also." I wonder if the Germans ever visited the birthplace of Zen Buddhism (Ishiminshan, Shuangfengshan, Ziyunshan). Although German officers helped Chiang Kai-shek to train an officer corps at Mt. I wear stars and moon, wind and road accommodation, only on foot to visit the famous mountains of Edong Shuangfeng Mountain in a tip of the two tip of the mountain in the top of the two tip of the scene to find the natural gossip tops, and then visited the Taoist shrine of the White Cloud Cave, Flame Cave, Huanglongtan, Qingliangshan cave, Mushi nunnery several Taoist masters, in unison, said, "Taoism was born in the top of the gossip in the top of the one tip." Encouraged by the rest, drawing the mountain veins, found that a tip of the mountain as the axis, east and west trend is east to the East Rush Hill, west to the Herb County eight dipper connected to Taipingqiao Mountain; North and South trend is south to the Yuhong Zhai, north to the Herb County South Spirit Temple and Huangmei County Ziyunshan Taoist screen mountain, just east and west perpendicular to the north and south, completely matching the swastika graphic, the real natural heavenly form. Swastika mountain shape: East Mountain folded south, the view has the East Chunchong snow, the remaining veins to the pig's head of the mountain Maganshan one of the eight masters of the Tang Dynasty Gao Shan School of the masters of the construction of a branch of the nunnery, the long drive down the Temple of the Four Ancestors and the Nine Dragons entangled in the ground Mushi Nunnery, the last folded out of the South Wufeng Mountain head of the Dade Ancestral Temple. Swastika mountain shape: South mountain folding west that you Hongzhai west folding has the six ancestors meditation place, folding out of Hengjiang mountain has a horizontal Gang Shao Cui attractions. Swastika mountain shape: West Mountain folded north of a tip to eight tips, out of the Phoenix Mountain. Swastika mountain shape: North Mountain folded east; that is, herb South Spirit Temple Taoist Ping Shan, folded east of the Flame Mountain, Nopuyuan Mountain, leading out of the White Cloud Cave, the Flame Cave, down the Huanglongtan. In spring and summer, when it rains and clears or in autumn and high tide, you can climb up the mountain and look around, and enjoy the marvelous swastika mountain-shaped veins; you can also go through the leafy jungle in the fall and winter seasons to seek evidence of its various aspects. The Canglang Academy@Chinese Zen Buddhist Academy runs the Buddhist Ancient Culture Exploration Expedition. Ancient people of E-Dong knew the mountain formations and veins of this land like the back of their hand. Literati, scholars, and dignitaries have been planning for a long time to seize the feng shui. At the end of Qing Dynasty, the last scholar of Herb County, Chen Hang's ancestral tomb was buried in the north-east turn of the swastika; Huangmei County, the scout Shuai Chengying, the governor of Zhejiang Province, was buried in the three-star arching illumination of the Nine Dragons grabbing the pearl fengshui ground that is, the east end of the swastika folded the southern point of attraction of the Makishi nunnery; Guangzhou County, the gold member of the Golden Degree of the Hanlin Academy, Editorial Tomb, the south folded the west of the swastika at the Golden Cockerel Independence Hill, and even more rumor has it that Huangmei County people in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the military department of the Secretary of the Ministry of Defense, Wang Kesuu closed their coffins in the Nopu Park, the site of the tomb in the north-east end of the swastika. The tomb site is at the north-east end of the swastika. Of course, even the best feng shui is inevitably damaged by grave robbers, gold members, Shuai Taifu, Chen Scholar, none of them were spared. Only Wang can be subjected to the Minister of War eight graves, a cave is difficult to find. Born on top of the gossip is the Chinese Taoist wonders. The Zen swastika is a treasure of Chinese civilization.　"Swastika" character, the Tibetan language called "yongzhong" or "yongzhong laqu". "The swastika has a single figure, there is also a continuous figure; the shape of the left swastika, there is also a right swastika. In the past, the swastika was written in two ways and had two meanings. The swastika used on the statue of Buddha is the left rotating swastika. According to the Dictionary, the swastika was not a word, but a symbol on the chest of a Buddhist Buddha. It means good luck and happiness. "The swastika is also a symbol of many tribes in ancient times. This symbol appeared in the history of ancient India, Persia, Greece and other countries; and later was used by some ancient religions, such as Brahminism, Buddhism, Jainism and so on. Shanghai Rhetoric Publishing House, 1979 edition of the "Dictionary": "swastika" (wanwan) is "an ancient charm, talisman or religious symbols"; usually considered to be a symbol of the sun or fire. "In Sanskrit, the swastika is known as srivatsa (muri-mochi), which means 'a collection of auspicious objects'.　It is believed that the swastika first appeared in India and Europe, and was introduced to China in the 4th century AD with the advance of Buddhism, and is an "imported product". Some people believe that the swastika was first produced by the Qiang tribe in ancient China.　According to archaeological data, as early as 6,000-7,000 years ago, the ancestors in the Gan and Qing areas made pottery with swastikas, which shows that the swastika is a symbol with a long history. For example, there are swastikas on the colored pottery of Liowan in Ledu, Qinghai, and similar symbols have been found in Neolithic sites in Guangdong and Inner Mongolia, while Buddhism was introduced to China only in the 4th century, i.e., during the Eastern Han Dynasty. In recent years, some ancient rock paintings have been found in Tibet, Qinghai and other places, and in addition to animals, the sun, and auspicious pictures, rock painting swastikas have also been found (e.g., the sequence of evolution of swastika in Ritu rock paintings found in Ritu County, Ali, Tibet). Since the 1950s, a large number of old stone tools have been found in Tibet and its fringe areas. It is estimated that human beings settled on the Tibetan Plateau at least 50,000 years ago.　The Tibetan-Chinese Dictionary states that the swastika has a two-fold meaning: first, it is the emblem of Benjaminism. Second, it is solid and unchanging. According to "Tibet king system record": after the introduction of Indian Buddhism into Tibet, had a fierce conflict with the benjamins, and even struggle, when the powerful Buddhist siege of benjamins castle, benjamins in the four corners of the castle painted swastikas to inspire morale, "painting square" to pacify the civilians. to pacify the civilians. This shows that the swastika here is a kind of solid and indestructible sorcery centered on the Benjamins to solve disasters and expel epidemics. This modal symbol is used to cast spells, turning inanimate nature from "static" to "dynamic," and perpetuating Benjaminism. "Religions often utilize art to give us a better sense of the truths of the religion, or to illustrate religious truths in images to facilitate the imagination." "Religion needs to represent the divine to some extent as a perceptible material phenomenon in order to give the masses a better sense that God does exist, and thus to give a concrete object on which to project religious emotions." Thus, the swastika was once used as the emblem of Benjaminism, which had a functional role in witchcraft.　As a foreign religion, Buddhism was introduced to the Tibetan Plateau; it infiltrated and influenced the teachings of Benjaminism, and even caused the confrontation between the two sects. Admittedly, there are some similarities between Benzoism and Buddhism in some aspects. For example, Benjaminism sees the world as a number of squares, each square symbolizes a tribe, and the square is divided into three layers, representing the sky, the ground, and the underground, respectively, for Benjaminism's gods, people, and the devil lives. These concepts are basically consistent with the Buddhist concept of "reincarnation". As we know, Buddhism has absorbed a lot of Brahman's teachings, such as the immortality of the soul, karma and the cycle of cause and effect. It is believed that all beings are born from the beginning, that is, the cycle of birth and death, and that the soul itself will never be annihilated. Because of the Buddha, benzene two sects in the doctrine of **** the same sex, so that Buddhism in the process of spreading on the one hand with the benzene dispute, exclusion, on the other hand, with the benzene integration, absorption of benzene many components, so that, as a benzene emblem of the swastika, with the development of history, evolution, and gradually for the Buddhists to receive. Formally, the Benzo swastika is rotated counterclockwise, i.e., left-handed, while the Buddhist swastika is rotated clockwise, i.e., right-handed. The swastika was rotated counterclockwise, i.e. leftward, while the Buddhist swastika was rotated clockwise, i.e. rightward. "The swastika has been preserved as an amulet symbol of Tibetan Buddhism.　The phenomenon of using the swastika as a family talisman still exists in Tibet, with some tying cloth strips bearing the swastika to the dacha on top of the courtyard or gate, and some carving the symbol into masonry. Some people tie cloth strips with swastikas to the dacha on top of their courtyards or gates, while others carve the symbols into masonry. According to the elders, this is a way to ward off evil spirits. The use of swastikas as building decoration carries a strong aesthetic interest. For example, swastikas are engraved on the window walls, door grids and beams of Tibetan Buddhist monasteries; swastikas are also engraved on the courtyard walls, on the stones paved inside and outside the courtyard, and on the square bricks in the garden; and swastikas or swastikas are engraved on the door and window patterns of the courtyard of folk houses. The door and window patterns of folk courtyard also have the swastika or a variant of the swastika, i.e., "Fortune Keeps on Coming". The shapes of these swastikas are round, square, single and double, and they are painted on the wainscot and wall panels with the pattern of "Fortune Keeps Its Head".　The swastika and its variants are widely used in Gan and Qing folk embroidery and knitting art. Its pattern changes, momentum, style, flavor and look are all full of rich ethnic flavor. For example, Tibetan women's braids on their heads and purses around their waists are embroidered with swastikas and their variants, and variants of the swastika are also embroidered on clothes, belts, cuffs, collars, shoes, sock mats and socks. The corners and edges of folk carpets, mattresses, and tapestries are often decorated with variations of the swastika.　"The swastika was originally seen as a symbol of the sacred sun or sacred flame, and evolved from the sun symbol. Before the swastika was standardized, it could take various forms, including different directions of rotation. The appearance of the sun and the swastika indicated the worship of the sun; the swastika was interpreted to mean the eternal sun or the eternal sun. Later, it evolved and became a symbol of solidity, eternity, protection from evil and good luck, and a symbol of eternal good fortune.　"The swastika is a traditional symbol of good luck. The four ends of the swastika extend horizontally and vertically, connecting with each other to form a pattern called "Wan Zi Jin" or "Long Legged Broken Character". Auspicious patterns composed of swastikas, such as "Ten Thousand Years of Good Will" and "Ten Thousand Generations of Eternal Spring", symbolize eternal happiness.　The sun god is one of the biggest deities in Tibetan Buddhism, and the swastika is a symbol representing the sun. The swastika is a symbol of the sun. The use of the swastika as a religious motif in women's clothing is very obvious. In the minds of Tibetan women, it is a symbol of goodness and is regarded as an auspicious object. On New Year's holidays, women always draw a big swastika with quicklime in front of their houses to show that they will have good luck in the coming year, and Tibetan women in some places also like to embroider the swastika on the back of their clothes. They believe that this can prevent natural and man-made disasters, and if it is the woman's birthday, it will not forget to embroider the swastika on the back to pray for the Bodhisattva to bless the birthday year peace and security. Modern women in northern Tibet have a kind of headdress called "Rolling Duo", which is made of small white conchs strung together, on which there are also swastikas strung with red coral.　"Swastika" character in the wedding present religious feelings and aesthetic feelings of the blend. Huangyuan, qinghai huangyuan day month township Tibetan people have a habit, they marry, the in-laws will be sheepskin spread in the yard, in the sheepskin with barley drawing "swastika" characters, the bride into the door, feet in the "swastika" character center, to show "! Men and women are born together, yin and yang are compatible, fish and water **** happy, auspicious as intended, solid and permanent" meaning. In Ganzi Tibetan weddings, the bride and groom sit or kneel in the center of the Tibetan carpet with barley or wheat swastika characters to listen to "praise wedding" and so on.　The Tibetan warrior costume in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the lower body is elk skin white leather pants, the knees have a round cloth, decorated with swastikas.

Ancient Indian religious symbol of good luck. Appears as a golden light with a swastika on the chest of Rudraksha. In China, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty pronounced it "Wan". The word in Sanskrit as Sr1vatsa (room Li Mochizheng), meaning "auspicious collection of virtues". It is also written as "swastika" in Buddhist scriptures.　"The swastika is a kind of charm of many tribes in ancient times, which appeared in the history of ancient India, Persia, Greece, Egypt, Troy and other countries, and was later used by some ancient religions. Initially seen as a symbol of the sun or fire, it was later commonly used as a sign of good luck. With the spread of Buddhism in ancient India, the swastika was also introduced to China and became popular in Tibet. In Sanskrit, this character is pronounced as "Muroligu Chakra Lokshana", which means "Auspicious Sea and Cloud Phase", that is to say, it is a symbol of auspiciousness that is presented between the sea and the clouds and the sky. There are such auspicious signs on the chest and head of Buddha Rulai, such as "seventy-eight hairs with five swastikas" in the third volume of the Buddha's 80 kinds of goodness, as stated in the Fang Dangdao Shuangyi Sutra. This is a kind of "Rui Xiang", which can gush out precious light, "its light shines with a thousand colors".　Chinese Buddhism on the "swastika" translation is not consistent, the Northern Wei period of a scripture to translate it into "Wan" word, the Tang Dynasty Xuanzang and others will be translated into "virtue" word, emphasizing the Buddha's The Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang and others translated it into the word "virtue", emphasizing the Buddha's infinite merits, and the Tang Dynasty female emperor Wu Zetian designated it as the word "ten thousand", which means that it sets all auspicious merits in the world. "There are two ways to write the swastika, one with a right-handed twist ("swastika") and the other with a left-handed twist ("swastika"). Most Buddhists believe that the right-handedness should prevail, because the right-handedness is considered auspicious in Buddhism, and Buddhists perform various Buddhist rituals with the right-handedness
