The Japanese master

A great Japanese master
received a university
professor who came to
enquire about wisdom. The
master served tea. He poured
his visitor's cup full, and then
kept on pouring. The
professor watched the
overflow until he could no
longer restrain himself. 'It is
overfull. No more will go in!'
'Like this cup,' the master
said, 'you are full of your own
opinions and speculations.
How can I show you wisdom
unless you first empty your
cup?'
