Zen Stories: A Cup of Tea

[krldr871]

[color=blue][size=12pt]Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.

Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor’s cup full, and then kept on pouring.

The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"

"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"[/size][/color]

[color=blue][size=12pt]One day two monks were walking along a riverbank. “I would like to be a fish. They are so peaceful and happy!” the one monk exclaimed.

“You are not a fish,” his friend said. “How do you know whether or not the fish are enjoying themselves?”

“You are not me,” the first monk said. “How do you know that I do not know that the fish are enjoying themselves?”[/size][/color]
