A CUP OF TEA
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"
Prajnaparamita
(The mind is empty of mind)
Humanity can never perceive Reality, or benefit from Spiritual Wisdom, as long as it is addicted to sense-based descriptions of reality, or to mere theories, speculations and opinions peddled by religion, science, art, philosophy, and all the Isms and Ologies so beloved of fools!
But it is possible for individuals to wake up!
