I was in Spain a few years ago, and decided against certain mementos for this reason. Sorry, it may not be KKK, but I won't display a whirling log in my house for similar reasons..

I got a wonderful Buddhist hanging charm for my car with a nice big 卍 (wàn) on it and you better believe I don't give a fig what people are gonna think about that!

You absolutely need to have a prop to represent Buddha's heart and mind hanging from your rear view mirror to achieve nirvana?

I'm not a Buddhist, but that don't seem like the path...

Schwag and tchotchkes are against the message of the Buddha.

If you meet the Buddha on your travels, kill him.

Haha, very true! But I'm not a Buddhist. It's a gift from one of my former colleagues in China who gave it to me as a good luck charm.
