First, ‘Mu’(武) is as catalyst of ‘Do’(道), it is situation of moderation had no goodness and badness, ‘Mu’ By ‘Do’ as the creator is connected to automatical and immediate moral ‘Mu-do’. In this reason, ‘Mu’ is explained by Mu-sul․Mu-ye․Mu-do. However, it is hard to be debated by division as it is portion and totality. Second, ‘Mu-do’ can be explained ‘knowledge and action’ exchanged. On this occasion, Mu is the Action, Do is the Knowledge. Therefore, ‘Mu’ is changed ‘Do’, ‘Do’ is changed ‘Mu’. The repetition have no any gap of ‘Mu’ and ‘Do’ is ‘Unity of knowledge and action’ of ‘Mu-do’. Third, morality of ‘Mu-do’ have some problem because of value judgment of human. ‘Mu-do’ is the maximum question of the continuous birth and death, goodness and badness, right and wrong in the life.
