I found out yesterday (3/25/2021) that Senator David Kaminsky has decided to withdraw a bill that would require New York schools to teach the Swastika as a symbol of hatred and intolerance. The decision comes against the backdrop of intense public outrage around the bill from the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain communities across New York and the United States, and the negative impact that such a bill may have on students from these traditions who attend New York schools along with those outside of these traditions.

Over 2 Billion people from the Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Native American, and other traditions consider the Swastika and its equivalents as symbols of peace, well-being, and prosperity. Teaching the Swastika as a symbol of hatred rather than the Hakenkreuz (“hooked cross”) – the symbol used by Hitler and Nazi Germany – would further perpetuate the popular misconception about a sacred sign as a sign of death and destruction.

Have a good weekend!

L-Manji 01 English ”Breathe Deep”

Happy New Year!

This is the year we will resume various business in sharing the positive swastika.

L-Manji: Manji (10,000=countless) symbolizes the "sun." Countless lights from the sun break darkness, bring warmth, nurture all lives, and provide us energy. May the light of hope, wisdom, peace and compassion embrace us all. Let us work together to bring peace in our society, our world and our planet.

This is a New series of 2021 video for peace making. Because of the Corona pandemic, all the people on this planet has suffered last year, and we need to have strength, energy and peace in our mindful heart this year. That is why I have decided to make videos for peaceful mind this year. Hope my video(s) will help people who need to stabilize their mind and their lives.

With palms together,

Now, I am back and my book will be republished in September 2018!!!

"Nazi Did Not Invent the Swastika!”

- Swastika has been used as a peaceful symbol for over 2,000 years in many parts of the world -

My newly republished book (Sept 2018)

How have you been? I have not posted a post on this site for a while. Sorry but there is a reason to stop. Some of you may remember but my talk about my book of "the Buddhist Swastika and Hitler's Cross" was covered by the New Yorker Magazine in August last year ( "The History of a Controversial Symbol" ), and after that, i received an e-mail from Stone Bridge Press saying that they are interested in republishing my book.  And then I agreed to republish it from the Stone Bridge Press, which also meant that I need to stop selling at Amazon and other places until my new version of the book is available.

Now, I can announce that my book "The Buddhist Swastika and Hitler's Cross" will be republished from Stone Bridge Press with additional subtitle "Rescuing a Symbol of Peace from the Forces of Hate."  It will be available next month, September 25, 2018 !!! The cover page design is also different. I hope that you like it.

By the way, If you have my older black & white version of the book, it is now a rare item. Only two hundred books exist in this universe.   If you have my older colored version, it is really rare. Only fifty copies exist in the entire universe!

Since my book will be republish soon, I will re-start my blog.  I did not give up promoting the education of the Swastika symbol vs Hakenkreuz (Hitler's Hooked-Cross).  I hope that you can join me to my blog again.

Here is a link to Stone Bridge Press as well as Amazon.com
I also created my book page which offers not only explanation about the book, but also see the updated events related my book.

Peace,

T.K.
