Caring for the Vulnerable
In this famous scene, Confucius invites two disciples to share their deepest aspirations. Zilu's is bold generosity—sharing possessions freely. Yan Hui's is quieter and more radical—never to boast and never to cause suffering. Both speak to ren. Confucius himself then says he wishes to comfort the old, be trusted by friends, and cherish the young.
