- The tale of the over flowing teacup is a famous Zen koan about the need to have an open mind when learning new skills or knowledge. Motivational, inspirational video on open mindedness, personal development and wisdom #shorts
“Empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless. Like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” - Bruce Lee
Shut up
So Tao ❤️
yeah blah blah blah but 99.99999999999999% of ppl on earth are unable to do it themselves no matter how hard they try; all empty talk
I've done it before and can do it again @@yoiashi
I hope that the teachings of Buddha spread by you keep my life towards him.
Everyone went to india
To be a good teacher is to be a good listener ☺️
hey, nice. sure, parroting old stories like everyone but in your face is calm. that is your message.
I love this I was taught this by my mother as a child. Even today with skills, I have perfected over the years. When someone tries to show me the same skill that I already possess I say nothing my cup is empty. I love to live life.

Dreaming is just the awerness reflecting on the words of the mind
This is a good one
Another interpretation is by filling up the cup til it poured over it's a way of showing to push out all previous thoughts
Indeed Truth ✋️

It was shown in a scene in the movie '2012'.
My dear, you are absolutly Right.
It's more about changing ourselves.

Nobody wants to experience a tragedy or disaster, but those are the times in my life that have helped me unlearn some of my “knowledge” about the world and life.
I’ve been waiting for someone like you my man! I have learned some of these lessons already but the way you tell it is exhilarating. Thank you
That's Buddha's dhamma 🙏☸️brother 🫂
Zen stories are really quite helpful in relationships specially
Agreed...every day is learning...
🙏😘
❤❤❤ thank you for this lesson and May Buddha bless you immensely for sharing his wisdom with others and helping people realize this. 🙏🏻💕🌷💐🌸🕉️
Sadhu sadhu sadhu 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Release to retrieve!
Yes. Thank you for the story.
Why im cry while listening to this word😢
When I was young I kept hearing the line "empty your cup" over and over, and I never fully understood it. I even thought it was just BS. It was ego and pride that blocked me from knowing what it meant.
When you're young, you think you know everything, and it's hard to accept the fact that you really don't, especially for someone who grew up blinded by the illusion of achievement and recognition of talent at such a young age. It is through defeat and grief that you realize that just like everyone else, you are all but a tiny speck of dust in the universe.
I love this power of the mind
how true is this very beautiful saying
Lovely
I cannot relay how important this is when learning a language
It's important, because your mother tongue does make it difficult for learning a new one
Whoooaa..!! How I wish I could come to understand and know even a little bit of your wisdom. 💞
Excellent example!
Zen masters are actually Buddhists monks
That's because the full name is Zen Buddhism.
This would be a great lesson for the education majors at my alma mater.
😊❤thank you
Soo true🙏❤❤👍🏻 Namaste🙏🇮🇩
The “ don’t know mind” becomes wise!🌸
Wow so much wisdom 🌺🌺🌺🌺
Remember Bruce Lee's words, Empty your Mind, be formless, shapeless like water!!! That's actually a Zen wisdom quote!!! So get rid of your mind of impurities that are damaging you slowly!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢.
❤❤❤ powerful
No truer words than that
🥰👏👌superb!!!..... well said!!!!💯🤝😊👍
Enlightenment…
"You must unlearn, what you have learned" Yoda 1981
The force was strong with that comment.
And the way youtube and other social media platforms are causing our non stop overflow is maddening, but just keep scrolling 😌
That is beautiful and I agree I'm 75 and I'm just learning this now wish I knew it when I was young LOL🎉❤😊
It's not late. Be in this world 100th years not worthier than living one minute with conscious mind!
I did nothing but let go but now i have no shit,m poor but content Whit my life
Amazing thank you
Very nice indeed
"The more I know the more I don't know." Buddha knew everything about how to be human that's why he chose Nirvana. It takes many, many lifetimes to perfect how to be a human. Also, it's not a race, you can never skip anything about how to be a human, you will learn all the lessons one way or another. "Everything is in time and on time"
Amazing Brother!
Indeed brother ❤ just what I needed to hear today 😊
As Einstein said knowledge is like a candle in darkness the brighter the candle burns the more it illuminates how much darkness is around you.
I'm paraphrasing of course I can't remember the exact quote
Love that!
Maybe that's where Bruce lee got his philosophy of empty your mind power stuff I actually got the book untethered soul and now reading it trying to learn more about being whole being of one sound mind it's a difficult task but I'm sure it will be worth it in the end.
Excellent 👌
Needed that thanks
U are truly soo inspiring n motivating 👌 tnx soo much 🙏 luv yr voice n u soo handsome too 🌺
❤🙏
The path to the temple is the temple 😊
This is, so true, knowledge is power , but the universe in which the Creator, is even more powerful, in the name of our heavenly Lord Jesus Christ our Savior and Creator Amen 🙏, I would never say that what was said to not be true , but I am in the belief, that everyone has the right to free will not, ignorance ,but accept what other's are wise to. Amen. And thank you for your words of wisdom, for I believe many can learn, but in-order to believe your heart and soul also mind and body must be worked on by ourselves also, in order to do right in your life and the world around you.
it means to understand something first you have to be neutral first
I first read the story a book called, The Karate Dojo by Sensei Peter’s Urban. That was 1967 and the story was told much better. And it was about a martial arts master and an arrogant student. This retelling doesn’t even compare. But though it gets the point across. all the stuff in the has been taken a out of it .
This is story is very old and may be the actual story and what you read was elaborated for better reading.
True wisdom comes from Allah and whoever is given wisdom has been given many blessings
True wisdom comes from Absolute Truth which has no name whatsoever - never has, never will.
@@Da_Xman one of Allah’s names, my dear friend is (Al haqi ) meaning (they truth)
So true❤
You should tell stories you have a beautiful Voice
A better lesson is too learn to Surrender to the Maker!

“ Buy, -clap!-, a bigger cup”

"oh is this how you guys operate around here 😂 I've never seen this very different way of pouring tea. I'm learning already"
Monk - Yes
you had to open your mind to something order to learn it some people think they learn a little about something somewhere they think they know it all that just how some people think about people because they've been watching them for a long time
Am me is verspelde the😊
I like this example. It’s hard to be zen.
How do I empty my mind when I don't exist?
What's the siund of one hand clapping, o master?
Master slapped him on the face, there.
사실은 틀렸음 무엇을 배우기위해 비우는게 아니라 선 zen이 비우는것 도를 도라하면 도는 도가 아니게되는것이기 때문임
비우는것이 배움을 위한것이 아님 그것이 선일뿐임 애송아
비우라했더니 다른것을 채우고 있네

S first we have to let go the ego ME.
True wisdom only comes from those who have the spirit if Gods own love-The Holy Spirit. Anyone can choose to have this love spirit even if they are not christian. Many christians today do not have this spirit.
No, true wisdom is not reserved for Christians or for anybody else.

tips for opening your mind?
Hey there justbeyou...!
✨🌈👋🥴✨
Really, this information aboutthe empty cup is the very shallow end of the baby pool. What your asking about is the stillness and silence of meditation (the real grist for the mill). Some styles like Zen have special postures, but those aren't necessary. Others have become Awakened, Enlightened and Self Realized without any special ways to sit, thoughts to concentrate on or special ways of holding the legs and hands.
If your serious, you might research Ramana Maharshi, Nissargadatta, Siddharameshwar and Shunryu Suzuki. The first 3 are Advaita and the last is Zen. These are two different methods. These guys are great, in depth, easy reading.
This endeavor isn't for socialization and it's long haul. That may sound fai😢rly dreary but, persistence will provide what you hope for (guaranteed).
With sincere application, it's possible to make serious headway that will change your life for the much better within a couple of months; you won't be sorry and you'll never look back. Absolute Truth is like that.
Research these guys and find someone who you feel a connection with. Personally, since I came across Siddharameshwar's MASTER SELF REALIZATION, I've felt it would be perfect for introductory easy, in depth reading purposes as well as an advanced text.
A method you can work with as soon as you're finished reading this would be "I Am". Just sit quietly, inhale deeply and exhale through your mouth several times. This will help get you together to do this. Then, take a look at the thought "I Am", which is the bottom line not only of your own existence, but of Existence Itself existing (which actually 1is your own Existence existing as well).
Sit with those words "I Am" and simply look at them in your mind and consider them for a time. When you're comfortable with doing that, drop the words and look at the raw concept "I Am" without the words and try holding that wordless concept for a bit. It may seem awkward at first, but you'll gain traction simply by being still and silent while you continue your consideration of "I Am" without words.
Paying attention to your thoughtless thought "I Am", remain still and silent as long as you're comfortable - "just be" and don't force or put any effort into it. When you feel you've got the idea, take a few breaths and end off. That stillness and silence you were attempting to engage with is where your thoughts are coming from (and that "where" is who you actually are).
Now, start practicing that daily or as many times a day and as long as you wish (personal comfort can be very habit forming).
As you do this practice, a "process" of Awakening will naturally begin on its own. The stillness and silence you offer to it will "strengthen" a very special connection/bond you already have with the very deepest part of your Self; the stronger you make that bond with stillness and silence, the more comfortable you will be. And, once you become aware of this deeper connection, you will never lose it - it's yours forever; some call it God, some The Absolute or Absolute Truth, some call it Consciousness and some call it Self. Pay attention to your life situations and see what you might see. There is nowhere Absolute Truth is not and there's nothing that's not Absolute Truth.
This should give you a really good start while you do your research.
Get ready for genuine meaning to your life and Existence Itself. This is what everyone is searching for in everything they do, but only come up with temporary rewards that end up disappointing. With persistent sincerity, THIS is permanent and will never disappoint, but instead, bring you the genuine comfort of peace of mind that you're looking for.
Do a screenshot and save this for easy reference. You'll get the hang of it quickly.
Keeping the fire in your heart burning and wanting Absolute Truth with all your Being will get you everything we're talking about here. Remember this: take one step towards God and God takes ten towards you. And, try imagining what happens if you take two or three more!
This is more than enough. Get Siddharameshwar's book MASTER OF SELF REALIZATION (Amazon) and you're locked, loaded and definitely ready.
Hope this is what you're asking about.
And remember, this goes to the very depths of yourself where you will easily know that you are succeeding in reaching where you can REALLY "justbeyou".
REALLY....
One of the BIG "secrets" in this endeavor is to surrender as completely to this process of The Absolute as you can and love yourself as deeply as you can (because that's where it eventually goes). If you love yourself deeply, you automatically love everything always. And, that's what it's all about (there's real magic in this type of love).
So...there ya go; be assured; hang in there and keep on keepin' on...!
✨🌈♥️👋🥴👍✨
Yes i was convinced he was the wises man on that land when he forgot to stop pouring, but plotted it into a preaching before he look stupid. 🌝
My wisdom is non-sharable.
That isn’t right.
From here the empty cup metaphor is a sticky concept to empty the mind from
Ok i get it. We have empty our minds but the real question is how to do it? How to empty your mind?
Every one is talking about emptying your mind no ones talking about how to do it.
