Furthermore, not all of his students accepted everything he said. Confucius (K'ung Ch'iu of Lu) himself, for example, formulated this as the heart of his ethics: "What you do not yourself desire do not do to others." He believed that jen, which is usually translated as 'benevolence', an unselfish concern for others' welfare, was the chief virtue. Not everyone accepted the ideas of Confucius. They were challenged over time, and some, such as Mencius, defended the fundamental ideas of Confucius. In the course of the dialectic, the give and take of argument, some Confucian concepts were altered. For example, the concept of jen itself becomes clarified.
