Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 A scholar visited the monk Nanyin to ask him about Zen. Nanyin offered some tea to his guest, but he continued pouring even after the cup was full. After a short while, the scholar could not stand it any longer and said " the cup is already full! Stop pouring! " . Nanyin replied " You are just like this cup, full of your views and opinions. If you do not empty your cup first, how can I tell you about Zen?
