Kung Fu Philosophy
In ancient China, a well-known scholar went to a master and asked to be trained in spiritual matters. The master poured tea into the scholar’s cup and continued to pour until the cup was overflowing. The scholar was taken aback and informed the master that the cup was overflowing. “Your mind is like this cup, full and overflowing with your own ideas,” the master said, pointing to the overflowing tea. So, if you want to study with me, first empty your cup (mind) so that it can take what is being poured.” The lesson here is to keep an open mind and refrain from passing judgment until you have learned enough to appraise what you have or have not gained.
To yield does not mean that one is weak. In achieving ambition, the self should not take leave from humanity.
