Swastikas, Jing'an Temple, Shanghai

Swastika---which is depicted on these roof tiles in the Buddhist temple of Jing'an in Shanghai---has always been used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. It brings quite different connotations in the minds of Westerners. This attests to the famous Buddha's saying that "where there is perception, there is deception".
