China / Tibet: Bon, or Bon Po left-facing or counter-clockwise svastika / swastika

In general, Buddhism is not overly concerned with the direction the svastika turns. This is not true for the Bon religion, however, where the left-turning <i>yungdrung</i> is the principal symbol of the religion, and a right-turning <i>yungdrung</i> has no meaning. The word is also part of the official name of the religion, Yungdrung Bon or 'Everlasting Truth'. The <i>yungdrung</i> is also a commonly found in the hands of Bon teachers and deities in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. It is even used for religious hats and seats, carpets, and for marking the bottom of Bon sculpture. Since ancient times, the <i>yungdrung</i> has been one of the more common etchings in pictographs and petroglyphs of the western Himalayas and Tibet.
