Yeah, OK, the OM is Hindu and the Buddha is Buddhist. But I was looking underneath: the hand reaching up the dress, is that Hindu too? What does it represent? And the tailor's mannekin with the rays: is that Buddhist too?

I admit ignorance, but I don't mean to be insulting. In all sincerity, what does it symbolize?

I have a feeling that actual Hindus and Buddhists might well object to this monstrosity.

the hand up the dress is for Jainism (but the eneagram Jebbies conveniently left off the swastika portion of that symbol).

That's got me baffled as well. When you look at the hand, it appears to have a hole in it. Could that represent the wounds in Christ's hands? I don't know if that's a dress or what it is. I can't honestly tell. It looks as if it may be, then again what the heck is it?

I've never seen it.
