considering the conotations to that symbol in recent history, it's a bit  
naive to say that it's related to budhism etc anymore. at least not to  
anyone who isn't a budhist.

try going to germany and walking around with a t-shirt with that. the  
least that can happen to you is to go to jail. if you go to a neighborhood  
where a group of punks is chilling, you might not make it alive. (except  
in some cities in the east, then they'll offer you beer and shave your  
hair)
