Just curious but where are you originally from? I saw you posted a bit further down with the OP and your mention of people from further west not being as likely to know about it, I can side with that statement, but how did you find out about it, do you know of anyone who actively practices, and how long have you known about it? Not that time matters really, just trying to get a feel for your background. Edit also purely for Irony's sake and since no one said it I think anyone who Google's it initially may immediately go against it mainly for a specific symbol used. I know it originally meant and still does mean peace but still, just made me chuckle
