You got it, Jens!
And there are more gods with trinity aspect: in Babylon, Sumeria, Ancient Egypt, Greece, etc. and India of course) "Triratna" is a holy Buddist belief, there are also "three jewels" and "three bodies" concepts. There are numerous examples of 3dot pattern in Oriental/Asian arts, even "emperor" in Chinese consists of 3 horizontal lines, representing 3 elements, and the motif is dated to 2000 B.C.! Similar is seen in old Turkic culture (Orkhon inscriptions), etc, etc.
