Empty and be full
Ancient wisdom thoughts ring true even in our age of information load. A Zen master was sharing the tea ceremony with a pupil. The teacher deliberately poured tea into his student's cup until it spilled over on to the table, the floor, and the student's robe. When the student inquired why his master had deliberately poured the hot tea over everything , there was a deep pause, and then the Zen master said, " When your mind is so full of preconceived notions, you have no room for insights and fresh inspirations."
