I also ocansilnally visit a buddist temple nearby and they have these statues with the sun symbol. The monks are always asked about it, and they always slowly reply with a smile on their face that it is not meant to be a reference to nazism. The chinese used this symbol for thousands of years before nazism. In south america, some psuedo-nazi parties used a symbol used for "summing" constant values (don't know how to translate that), and yet you can see that very same symbol today on a MicroSoft Excel spreadsheet (it's the "functions" button).
