Last week we said that the concept of Ren is the core of Confucius' thought, and that Ren is fundamentally about caring for humanity, so what other specific practices are in line with Ren?
Ren (benevolence), as the noblest human virtue, abounds in content, which includes being respectful, generous, honest, diligent and kind. Confucius believed that being respectful incurs no disrespect from others; being generous brings you popularity; being honest wins trust; being diligent leads to greater accomplishment; and being kind secures help in return from others. Ren also means one has to conduct oneself decently, work earnestly, be true to others and make acquaintance with those who are morally noble.
