Dispel Preconceived Ideas To Learn More

An American professor goes to a Zen master to learn about Zen Buddhism. The Zen master pours tea in a cup for the professor. After some time, it starts spilling and the professor shouts, "Stop, no more will go in the cup." Says the Zen master: "Likewise, your mind is full of your own ideas. How can I teach you Zen till you empty your mind to learn about it?"

THINK: Keep your mind 6-9% empty for new ideas to flow in.
