The '''swastika''' (Skt. ''svastika''; Tib. <big>གཡུང་དྲུང།</big>, [[Wyl.]] ''g.yung drung'') is one of the most ancient and universal symbols and is found in almost every known culture of the world. In ancient China, for example, the swastika was a Taoist symbol of eternity, and in India it is considered to be originally a solar symbol, derived from the motion of the sun through the four quarters and seasons.

In [[Vajrayana]] Buddhism the swastika symbolizes the [[four primary elements|element]] of earth, and its indestructible stability. In this respect it is closely related to the symbol of the [[double vajra]]. <ref>*Robert Beer, ''The Handbook of Tibetan Buddhist Symbols''</ref>
