What happens if you sleep on your left side is amazing | Zen Story #unitedstates #mindfulness #zen #motivation
In a quiet monastery, a young monk sought wisdom from an old master. He asked the master to teach him the way to enlightenment. The master invited the young monk for tea. As the master poured tea into the monk's cup, he kept pouring even when the cup was full, causing it to overflow.
"Master, the cup is full! No more will go in," exclaimed the young monk.
The master smiled and said, "You are like this cup-so full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"
This Zen story illustrates the importance of approaching learning and enlightenment with an open mind, free of preconceived notions and judgments. Only by emptying our mental "cups" can we make room for new wisdom and insights.
