子曰：“學而時習之，不亦說乎？有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎？人不知而不慍(ㄩㄣˋ=angry)，不亦君子乎？”
The whole work and achievement of the learner, first perfecting his knowledge, then attracting by his fame like-minded individuals, and finally complete in himself.

**Five Steps:
Guanyin
The Chinese people changed the name of Avalokitesvara to Guanyin. Metaphorically, guan means looks on, yin means sound (of prayers). In Chinese Buddhism, Guanyin has been popular among ordinary worshipers for the belief that the buddha is able to save people from poverty, disease and sorrow. The Chinese bodhisattva (Buddhistic prophet) to whom childless women turn for help. He manifests himself in any conceivable form wherever a being needs his help, especially when someone is menaced by water, demons, fire, or sword. Guanyin is one of the four great bodishattvas of Buddhism. Guanyin is a savior and deliverer, a sea goddess prayed to by sailors in a storm, the bestower of children and the idealization of all that is considered gentle, graceful and compassionate in women.Guanyin has a profound influence on traditional Chinese culture. According to a Buddhist sutra, whenever those in distress murmur Guanyin's name, the Goddess will never fail to come to their rescue. That's why Guanyin is also known as the 'Goddess of Great Mercy'. Avalokiteshvara is the spiritual son/daughter of Amitabha Buddha and serves as his "right-hand man."
