Nope, they didn't. Look at the photo, then look at a Nazi swastika--both are right-facing. Originally (and to this day in the East) there are both right- and left-facing swastikas, depending on the context. The Wikipedia entry on the swastika notes that some Buddhists used only the left-facing swastika after 1940 because of the Nazi connotations of the right- facing version, which may be the source of the myth that the Nazis "reversed" it. > > I know that the swastika has positive connotations.
