Hoon Dok Hae

The Chinese character "hoon" (訓) is composed of two elements: "word" (言) and "stream" (川). The three lines symbolize a flowing river, while also representing the three stages of formation, growth, and completion. The character "dok" (讀) consists of "word" (言) and "sell" (賣). This implies that, like merchants, we must distribute or "sell" words, sharing them with others.
