the empty cup...

The title of this column is taken from a well-known Zen story about a master instructing a journeyman. The journeyman was full of knowledge and continually interrupted the master, going on about how he was taught and what he himself had mastered. After a time, the master invited the journeyman to tea. The journeyman was flattered and eagerly accepted the invitation. As the master performed the ritual tea ceremony, he began filling the journeyman's cup. But the journeyman noticed that he was filling it past the usual amount. The master continued pouring and soon the journeyman's cup was overflowing. The journeyman rose to his feet, incredulous. The master put down the teapot, looked at the journeyman, and asked him, "If you come to me with a cup that is already full, how can you expect me to give you something to drink?" - Dave Hoover (author)
