The Swastika Symbol in Buddhism

The swastika (Sanskrit svastika, "all is well") is a cross with four arms of equal length, with the ends of each arm bent at a right angle.

Sometimes dots are added between each arm.

It can be seen in the art of the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Celts, Native Americans, and Persians as well Hindus, Jains and Buddhists.

When the bloated lighter known as the Olympic Torch was in London and Paris, both cities were also host to the Official Thug Squad for the 2008 Summer Olympics: China's secret police.

Good morning fellow adventurer!

Your ship was spotted off the coast this morning, slipping silently through the fog ... coming around the cape she appeared in a shaft of sunlight... and what a sight to see!

Glimmering as much as the ocean herself.
Massive and beautiful beyond belief!
Laden with treasures, happy times, friends, love, and laughter.
Quick, you must PREPARE for her docking ... you MUST make space in your life for her gifts ... otherwise, just as quickly, she'll quietly slip back out to sea.
