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 could no longer 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?

― Nyogen Senzaki

If you want to open yourself to new knowledge, new discoveries, new possibilities and fresh experiences, it's important to make space for something new. Emptying your mind of limiting beliefs and freeing yourself from limiting behaviours creates space for a fresh perspective, new insights and the possibility of personal growth.

Empty your mind and discover what's really possible.
