The master prepared tea. While serving the tea he began to explain, but the learned professor kept on interrupting with his own opinions. So the master poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring. The learned man watched the overflow until he could no longer restrain himself.'It is overfull. No more will go in!' Like this cup,the master said, you are full of your own opinions and speculation. How can I show you anything unless you first empty your cup?" A famous Zen saying. ” A spiritual master received a learned man who came to gain deeper insight into the mysteries of life.
