The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – Rén (仁).
The Analects are a fascinating anthology of the wonderful words & the incredible ideas of Confucius, gathered by his loyal disciples over time. They espouse the importance of education, the value of celebrating the qualities & the virtue of Rén (仁). Confucius provides a unique code by which we can live a beautiful life, based on the ideals of social responsibility, spirituality, respect, humility, gratitude & compassion. Qualities as relevant & sought-after today, as they were 2,500 years ago. His life’s principles still continue to shape & inspire the Eastern philosophy, politics & culture.
