How to interpret the Buddhist swastika (left hand "swastika" and right hand "swastika")?

Swastika, the swastika used by the Nazi Party, is Srivatsa in Sanskrit, transliterated as "the moment when Sri Ri lived in Lolo", and the old translation was "auspicious sea cloud", meaning "auspicious place". The symbol "Wan Zi" has always been written in two ways: left hand Wan Zi and right hand Wan Zi.

Tang Huilin's "The Sound and Meaning of the Classics" puts forward that "swastika" shall prevail. Tibetan Buddhism takes the right-handed character "Wan Zi" as the norm, which is the difference in the use of "Wan Zi" symbol in Han and Tibetan areas.

It is generally believed that the pronunciation of the word "Wan" was decided by Wu Zetian in the second year of longevity (AD 693). In Volume 6 of the Collection of Translated Names compiled by the Song Dynasty, there is "Master (Wu Zetian) wrote this article, which was written in Shutian, and it was called Auspicious Wande Collection."

Ganesha is the first power separated from the father and mother when they created the world, so it represents the power of life.

4. party emblem, the Nazi party in modern Germany, namely the National Socialist Party, is shaped like the swastika used by the Nazi party because the German prefixes "country" and "socialist party" are both S. Hitler thought that the swastika used by the Nazi party symbolized the mission of fighting for the victory of the Aryans, so it was used as the Nazi party party emblem in 1920.
