A university professor went to visit a famous Buddhist master. While the master quietly served tea, the professor talked about Buddhism. The master poured the visitor's cup to the brim, and then kept pouring.
The professor watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself.
"It's overfull! No more will go in!" the professor blurted.
"You are like this cup," the master replied, "How can I show you Buddhism unless you first empty your cup."
