Crossword Puzzle and Belts to Color

The Korean term for Uniform is do-bok. Do means “way of life,” and bok means “a spiritual protector or shield against the elements.”  Thus, the wearing of your uniform has great symbolic value.  When you wear it, you also “wear” your commitment to follow the spiritual path leading to your Silent Master.  Your commitment is assuredly your protection against the elements.

Your belt wrapped around your waist symbolizes the unity of spirit you share with others on the path, and its “Color” proudly proclaims your level of achievement.  When you honor your uniform, you honor your real self!
