Represents well being for all and the circular nature of its point represents the repetitive nature of reincarnation.
If you dram a circle around it,it symbolises the sun god- Surya,as the ultimate source of light,heat and energy in the whole universe in all the direction.

The four arms of it represents the four main directions- north,south,east and west. It also represents the constantly changing world which evolves around an unchanging centre-God.

It is drawn on the gates to prevent houses from evil eyes.

Korean sayings,thr lines of the swastika serve as a symbol for two separate truths intersected with one another. The horizontal line acts as a symbol of truth

remaining eternal and vertical line means truth for all the creatures of Earth.

The symbol existed in East Asia since the Liao dynasty (AD 907-1125) and is an important and prominent image for Buddhists to this day.
