Hi Bryan, Thanks for the great talk, and Yup, if you use Google Maps to look at Japan, for example, we still use reversed-from-Nazi swastikas to indicate Buddhist temples here. ^o^
@@BryanVanNordenPhilosophy My pleasure; It's the least I could do, in gratitude for your excellent insightful talks on Chinese and Buddhist philosophy. I must say, by the way, I'm always impressed by your balanced, scholarly-accurate presentations of the material: unlike so much other stuff out there on RUclips... (And it's also so nice to listen to someone who actually knows how to pronounce the Chinese names of the people he discusses! ^o^ )
Thank you professor for your informative talk . It has helped me sort through the differences I encountered when visiting Chinese culture centers. The story of the swastika is very true and I had the same reaction when seeing so many in Buddhist art. It took me a while to overcome my own views based on the way it was represented when taught to us in school here in the States. Thank you
How does the story Maudagalyayana's rescuing his mother play in the context of filial piety and the combination of Confucianism and Buddhism? Thank you.
Could you do videos on Chinese Materialism/Economic thought/Logic in the classical age?

Thanks for confirming about the use of swastikas to mark Buddhist temples!

That is also true for Korean Buddhist temples.

This story helped make Buddhism more appealing to Chinese audiences, who regarded filial piety as a key virtue.
What do Buddhists say about how and when the one mind got so confused in the first place?
