Confucius said:

The man of perfect virtue, in wishing himself established, seeks also to establish others. In wishing himself enlightened, he seeks also to enlighten others. This is the best way to realize the perfect virtue by setting himself as an exemplar.

(Analects of Confucius, Book VI, Yung Yey)

The spirit of Confucius is consistent with that of the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas.
