The left-facing swastika was a Buddhist symbol long before the Nazis appropriated it and turned it the other way.

A swastika still marks Buddhist temples on maps you use in Asia.

You can also find the swastika symbol on tombstones in So. Vietnam if the Communists haven’t destroyed them (the reds have leveled may SVN, esp. ARVN cemeteries over the past 40+ years. (The SVNese took care of cemeteries no matter who were buried in them. I saw one such cemetery in the Mekong Delta tended by a woman who had a small foods store in her house, which was right next to the cemetery, which had at least o ne communist grave from the 1920’s. She and her husband took care of it.

The husband were written up in a NY Times article in either last Oct. or early Nov. 1970 b Ralph Blumenthal, a leftist writer, the same week I was there interviewing the man’s wife.
