A rendition of the original flag of the Association (hae ki), flown at it's founding at Jogyesa temple in 1986. The dragons (naga) are representations of mythological 'protectors of the dharma', they guard the emblem of the association which is a rose of sharon (the national flower of Korea- moogunghwa) encapsulating a first, grasping a staff and guarded by two swords. Sword, stick and body represent the totality and unity of the scope of our somatic dharma practice. The Chinese characters (hanja) or 'scholar's script" for the name of the Association grace the bottom of the banner (大韓佛教武術聯合會) representing the intellectual endeavors amidst the somatic pursuits of the temple arts we practice.
