ABSTRACT
Learning and morality, for the most part, are mutually complementary. Learning consists of the knowledge of different fields. It branches out from one origin into myriad ramifications, and so the further one goes, the more complex it becomes. Morality, on the other hand, is the realization of common existence. It reduces itself from myriad ramifications to one common origin, and so the further one goes, the simpler it becomes. This is what Lao-tzŭ meant when he said, “Learning increases as it is pursued, and the Way narrows as it is traveled.”
