A learned man once went to a Zen master to inquire about Zen. As the Zen master talked, the learned man would frequently interrupt him with remarks like, “Oh yes, we have that too”, “we do it this way”, and so forth.
Finally, the Zen master stopped talking and began to serve tea to the learned man; however, he kept on pouring and the teacup overflowed.
“Enough! No more can go into the cup!” the learned man interrupted.
“Indeed, I see,” answered the Zen master. “If you do not first empty your cup, how can you taste my cup of tea?”
Peace & respect, Lak
