The Tibetan word for the bent four-legged cross known as the svastika (Sanskrit, Sva Asti, meaning 'well-being'), when turning to the left it is the principal symbol representing the Bon religion (Ancient Tibetan shamanic religion)
Yungdrung Bön is the official name of the Bön tradition who's symbol is most widely recognised for very different reasons. 'Yung' meaning “the unborn, the absolute, free of any inherent nature,” and 'drung' meaning “constantly arising.”
