Empty
Your Cup!
by
Anonymous
The
Learned Professor came to the house of the Zen Master to ask to
learn Zen.
"You
are most welcome," said the Master, inviting the Learned
Professor in for tea.
They
sat on cushions facing each other.
Preparing
to make tea, the Master set a pot of water on the charcoal brazier
on the floor in front of him, while the Learned Professor began
to tell of all of the books he had read about Zen.
The
water having boiled, the Master made tea while the Learned Professor
told of all the insights about Zen he had gleaned from talking
to other great scholars.
The
tea made, the Master was about to pour tea into both their cups
when the Learned Professor offered to help.
And
he continued to talk about Zen, while pouring it. And the more
he talked the more the Master nodded. And he nodded and nodded
and nodded...while he poured...and poured...and poured, until
tea started to spill over for an instance.
"Oops,
I'm sorry I made a mess of the table." said the Learned Professor.
"Your
mind is like the cup," said the Master. "How can you
expect to learn unless you first empty your cup?"
Believe
it or not, there is ONLY one course in this world that cultivates
you to interact like a learned professor and listen like a master.
It is the closest thing to mold you into a 'Zhuge Liang'. To get
