A very learned professor went to a Zen master to find out about the nature
of the mind. They sat down and the professor just talked and talked and
talked about what he already knew. Tea was brought in and the Zen master
started to pour out tea for the professor, but when the cup was filled the
Zen master just kept pouring, the tea spilling over the table. The professor
cried out, “excuse me the,but the cup is full.” The Zen master replied, “yes
just like your mind is and there is no room for anything new.”
