Jen | June 07, 2004
Jen is Chinese and expresses the characteristic of a truly good person in Confucianism. It is often translated as "humane" or "human-hearted". It includes virtues like bravery, courtesy, loyalty and deligence in public life. Confucius regarded it as so transcendant that he was unwilling to say any of his contemporaries had achieved it.
