A ZEN Story

A learned man once went to a Zen teacher to inquire about Zen.

As the Zen teacher explained, the learned man would frequently
interrupt him with remarks like,  "Oh, yes, we have that too...."
and so on.

Finally the Zen teacher stopped talking and began to serve tea to
the learned man. He poured the cup full, and then kept pouring
until the cup overflowed.

"Enough!" the learned man once more interrupted. "No more can
go into the cup!"

"Indeed, I see," answered the Zen teacher. "If you do not first empty
the cup, how can you taste my cup of tea?"

This act, by the way, has in itself liberating power.

"After all, the usefulness of the cup is in its emptiness."
