Jidokwan otugi, a figure-eight portrayed by two red
circles that have neither a beginning nor an end. The outer circle in white symbolizes the
universe, while the large and small red circles in the otugi represent the earth
and life on earth, respectively. The
eight surrounding lotus leaves represent each of the eight solemn manners in
Jidokwan philosophy.
