Linh An Pagoda

The focal point of the Linh An Pagoda near Elephant Falls is these three Buddhas. Notice the swastikas on their chests - in Vietnamese culture, swastikas mean “good luck” and are commonly seen on religious figures, coffins, and tombs. Huan even had one tattooed on his left hand. It has nothing to do with the swastika associated with Nazi Germany.
