GANDHĀRAN ART: Iranian contributions and Iranian connections. The region attained its peak of prosperity in the Kushan period (1st to 3rd centuries CE), when it became one of the strongholds of Buddhism, and developed an advanced urban life where the Gandhāra art flourished (Foucher, 1902, pp. 3-50; Deydera, 1950, pp. 1-5). In the 1st century CE, Parthian and Roman merchants brought in the art and culture of their respective lands and local Hellenistic art tradition, and Buddhist missionaries the elements of Buddhist art.

The caption of this photo was “Nazi swastika in Buddhist temple”. It’s amazing how people can’t exercise common sense; it’s on Buddha, in Asia, and it’s everywhere, perhaps it has a different meaning and perhaps it’s not Nazi?

Here’s a Buddhist swastika in America with a great story.
Late one night, some ignorant, illiterate, color-blind jack-ass with his high-beams on my ass end couldn’t read the little purple sign that specifically says “Buddhist Swastika”, nor could he tell that the colors are different than the Nazi Hakenkruez, nor does he notice the Chinese characters, he probably assumed that it was German, nor did he notice the direction and the squareness of the Swastika, nor did the retard notice the Buddhist Proverb. I also changed lanes 3 times in an attempt to shake the faggot car off my butt. Missing out on all the evidence and risking my safety, I was forced to get out of my vehicle at a busy intersection and educate the dumb fool. I did it in a very Buddhistic…uh…peaceful manner.
I just gave him a card and a “May Buddha Bless You” response.
