What is Jen Chen's view of virtue?

It is so simple that everyone can understand it. The concept of benefiting oneself is called Tao; the concept of benefiting another is called Te. Tao-Te, then, is the concept of benefiting everyone; this means virtue.

Let me give you a few examples. A doctor may be skillful and knowledgeable. However, if he/she places profit above patient care, his/her goal of practicing medicine is to benefit himself/herself, not his/her patients.

This is not a virtuous endeavor. Or, a swimmer may be endowed with the ability to brave rough waters and rescue people in danger of drowning. When a situation calls for him to jump into the water to save people, he is not virtuous if he does not do so.

On the other hand, It is also not virtuous for a non-swimmer to risk his own life trying to save another from going under the water. Therefore, to be virtuous, we must both know how to swim and know how to use that skill to help others from the perils of drowning. Enriching oneself while in school is the Tao ... more.
