    I was in Spain a few years ago, and decided against certain mementos for this reason. Sorry, it may not be KKK, but I won’t display a whirling log in my house for similar reasons…

      I got a wonderful Buddhist hanging charm for my car with a nice big 卍 (wàn) on it and you better believe I don’t give a fig what people are gonna think about that!

        You absolutely need to have a prop to represent Buddha’s heart and mind hanging from your rear view mirror to achieve nirvana?

        I’m not a Buddhist, but that don’t seem like the path…

          Haha, very true! But I’m not a Buddhist. It’s a gift from one of my former colleagues in China who gave it to me as a good luck charm.

          Schwag and tchotchkes are against the message of the Buddha.

          If you meet the Buddha on your travels, kill him.
