學習的目的 The Purpose of Study

學習，終究是為了使甚微小而孤獨者[1]認識蟲魚鳥獸、草木花果之動靜，乃至於山河、海陸、天地、群星、宇宙之過去、現在、未來，以讚嘆其等之美，而在死亡的那一刻，欣喜地與其等合一。

Study is eventually to let the small and solitary one[1] know the dynamic and static states of insects, fishes, birds and beasts, as well as of grasses, trees, flowers and fruits, and furthermore, to let him know the past, the presence and the future of mountains and rivers, seas and lands, heaven and earth, stars and universe, to admire the beauty thereof, and to joyfully merge thereinto at the moment of death.
