Aryans in the Nazi Concept

 

Aryans in the Nazi Concept

 

 

When Agudengba and Lhacuo were resting in a post station in Tibet, they talked with the owner of the post station, Sinvar, about the thangka hanging on the wall of the post station. The Buddha statue in the thangka had a "swastika" logo on the chest. It represents Buddhism, and it also means that the inn owner Sinval is a Buddhist. Sinval claimed to be of Aryan descent.

Sinval said to Agudemba and Latso:

The "卍" character represents Buddhism; the "卐" character represents Bon religion. Bon Religion often prides itself on being "Yongzhong (White) Edition". "Yongzhong" is the Tibetan pronunciation of the "卍" character, and its "auspicious knot" symbol means "good luck never ends". The character "卍" (卍) with four dots in it means that the temple buildings represent the four heavenly kings of "wind, harmony, rain and smoothness", and the residential buildings represent the four auspicious omens of "wealth, wealth, longevity and happiness".

The six-pointed star symbol that appears from time to time, as well as the "auspicious", "he" and "hua" characters are variations of the "sun and moon" combination symbol, the "卍" (swastika) character, the "ten" character, and the yin and yang sun symbol. The characters have the same meaning: the "十" character is the original and static yin and yang combination symbol, the "卍" (swastika) character and the yin and yang Tai Chi symbol are the abstract and dynamic yin and yang combination symbols, the "sun and moon" combination symbols, "吉" The character "合" is the yin and yang combination of static and solid geometry. The six-pointed star symbol is a static and flat geometric pattern of yin and yang intersecting.

The Thangka, statue and mandala of Tibetan Buddhism's "Joy and Space" combine wisdom and sorrow, and are a "synthesis" of the harmonious unity of yin and yang, representing the harmony of the four levels of external, internal, secret and extreme secrets, and are the path towards harmony. The ways of life, harmony, harmony, harmony, harmony and love are also a three-dimensional expression of the combination of yin and yang. The combination of "convex" and "concave" with "sun" and "moon" means carrying yin and embracing yang, a natural combination and harmony.

Lacuo asked:

So what is the difference between "卍" and "卍", and what is the connection between them? During World War II, how did the "swastika" symbol evolve before it became the symbol of the German Nazi Party?

Sinval said:

When you see the "swastika", some people may find it strange, but friends who are familiar with history may think: Isn't this the symbol of the Nazi organization in Germany during World War II? Indeed, it was used throughout the battlefields of World War II. The German Nazi army carried a symbol similar to this and invaded most of Europe, bringing great disasters to people of all countries.

Maybe many people don't know that Hitler respected the Aryans very much. He believed that the Aryans were the best nation in the world. Hitler believed that the German nation originated from the Aryans. This theory mainly comes from Hitler's book "Mein Kampf". Hitler was not a historian, and many of his conclusions actually came from his subjective assumptions.

Hitler's expansionist mentality needed an ancestor. He hoped that the Germans would dare to conquer the east and west like the Aryans, and completely overturn an old world order.

As for the origin of "卐", it is usually considered to be the evolution of "卍". After all, the two are just mirror-image flips, and even the pronunciation has not changed. The reason why Hitler adopted "swastika" as his symbol is very simple. In ancient times, "swastika" was the symbol of the Aryans, and ancient India was also an Aryan people.

Hitler, who was divided into different races, attached great importance to the distinction between races, so he adopted the "swastika" as a symbol. However, the Nazi Party flag is slightly different from the "swastika". It is not straight, but rotated 45°, and has a white background and black body as the color. The German name is "Hakenkreuz", which translates as "Hooked Cross" and is related to the "Iron Cross".

Of course, there are many opinions on why Hitler chose the "swastika" symbol. Some people think that this is related to the "National Socialist Party" that the Nazi Party means. Because the words "state" and "society" in German both begin with "S", the two letters combined become "swastika".

Some people also say that this symbol comes from Hitler's childhood experience. He once lived in a monastery when he was a child, and the flag of the monastery was the "swastika". The abbot often wore an armband with the "swastika" symbol. Hitler, who had envied the dean's power since he was a child, could never forget it. Later, he even adopted the "swastika" as his party flag.

Sinval further explained:

Regardless of the reason, it can be determined that Hitler's choice of "Swastika" has nothing to do with Buddhism, so the relationship between "Swastika" and "Swastika" is very clear.

"卍" and "卐" were first born in the Aryans, and there was no strict distinction at that time. After the Aryans occupied India, "Swastika" became the Buddhist symbol of ancient India. During the evolution, it was also changed to "Swastika" by some ethnic groups and became the symbol of some ethnic groups, one of which is the Aryan nation. The reason why Hitler chose "swastika" as his symbol is also related to this.

Lacuo said:

However, because these two symbols are similar, they are very sensitive in certain situations. You must not make a mistake. If you make a mistake, you may get beaten. I once heard that a Mongolian rapper mistook the word "swastika" for Buddhism during a performance, and ended up performing wearing clothes with the Nazi party symbol "swastika" on it. A Russian officer in the audience was furious after seeing this, and rushed to the stage to greet him with an iron fist from a fighting nation. After all, the Soviet Union and Germany had deep grievances during World War II. Tens of millions of Soviet soldiers died at the hands of the Nazis, so Russians hate the Nazi symbol.

Sinval said:

One is a text symbol that symbolizes the great love, compassion and auspiciousness of Buddhism, and the other is a demonic symbol that has caused thousands of crimes and brought misery to people. Although "Swastika" and "Swastika" are similar, they are very different. . Even though Buddhism has not made a final decision on whether these two Buddha names should be left or right, but influenced by the history of World War II, people basically subconsciously believe that the "swastika" character is the orthodox representative of Buddhism.

Sinval added:

In fact, the "swastika" in the Nazi flag appeared in ancient times and became a charm in many tribes. It appeared in the history of ancient India, Persia, Greece, Egypt, Troy and other countries, and was later adopted by some ancient people. Used by religion.

According to archaeological data, as early as 6000-7000 years ago, the ancestors of China's Gansu and Qinghai regions had the "swastika" character on the pottery they made, which shows that the "swastika" character is a symbol with a long history. Initially people regarded it as a symbol of the sun or fire, and later it was generally used as a symbol of auspiciousness and eternity. This word means an auspicious symbol appearing between the sea, clouds and sky.

Hitler said in the book "Mein Kampf": The word "swastika" symbolizes the mission of fighting for the victory of the Aryan people.

In fact, it is not difficult to find from here that Hitler’s starting point is consistent with the historical meaning of this symbol, both yearning for a better life. However, the Nazis based this happiness on the destruction of other civilizations and other races, which ultimately led to failure.

  "Swastika" is painted on the chest of Buddha Tathagata, which is considered by Buddhists to be an "auspicious sign" that can emit precious light. The translation of the word "卍" in Chinese Buddhism is also inconsistent. A scripture in the Northern Wei Dynasty translated it into the word "Wan". In the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang and others translated it into the word "德", emphasizing the immeasurable merits of the Buddha. In the Tang Dynasty, The empress Wu Zetian also designated it as the word "Wan", which means to gather all the auspicious merits in the world. In the "Tibetan-Chinese Dictionary", it is recorded that it means solid and eternal.

But no matter what, to this day, the "swastika" symbol of Nazi Germany has nothing to do with Buddhism. One is a war demon mark that brings infinite painful memories to all mankind, and the other is a symbol of great love and love that has lasted for thousands of years. The Buddhist symbols of compassion are completely different in both their connotation and denotation.

Sinval sang a Buddhist song "Make a Wish in the Face of the Swastika":

 

Make a wish in front of the swastika,

The auspicious sign emits precious light,

Thank you Tathagata for your immeasurable merit,

Wan Ji brings good luck and peace to the world.

 

Great love and mercy for thousands of years,

Don’t live your life for fame and fortune,

Buddha's light shines on the plateau,

If you have a kind heart, you can enter heaven.

 

If there really is a destiny for another life,

Even if my life is bitter and cold,

Wandering around the world, I won’t change,

Just pray for the blessings and peace of all living beings.
