Empty Your Mind | A Powerful Story For Your Life

This story by Suzuki Roshi illustrates the importance of having an open and empty mind when seeking knowledge. A professor visits a Zen master to understand Zen, but the master demonstrates a lesson by continuously pouring tea into a full cup. When the professor protests, the master explains that just like the overflowing cup, the professor’s mind is too full of preconceptions to grasp Zen. The story teaches that true wisdom comes from letting go of assumptions and approaching life with an open, beginner’s mind. #daretodomotivation #thefictionist #greatmeditation #wisdominsights #dreamspace #beliveinyourself #buddhism #wordsofwisdom #wisdomoftheancients
