What is the taste
of an empty cup?
Zen 101 - Mornings Son - 02-27-2010
who is tasting?
Zen 101 - Guest - 02-28-2010
Before you empty The Cup, take some time to make a deep look on your cup.What kind of cup do you have ?
Some cups are dirty,
some cups have holes in it,
some cups are turned upside down,
some cups are even broken
and many cups are full of unquestioned intellectual assumptions.
Intellectual Zen or Pseudo-Advaita ( Negation of the cup and the perceiver or both ) doesn´t help very much to solve the koan. It stays on the material level. The first cup to empty, is to silence the material brain.
There are many cups to empty , oh Saki bring me more Wine !
My tavern comrades vanish one by one,
Innocent victims of Deaths furtive stroke.
All had been honest drinkers , but all failed,
Two rounds before the last, to drain their bowls.

Dust in the Monastery
"Master, you are a man of knowledge: why is there dust?"
"It's something that comes from outside."
"But in a pure and clean monastery, why is there dust?"
"There's another little bit."

talk of zen is many times, like talk of food - it can't feed your hunger only make it worse.
CHEERS

Zen 101 - Gonzo - 02-28-2010
Nah...my cup is full of beer
Zen 101 - Mornings Son - 02-28-2010

Zen 101 - Gonzo - 02-28-2010
The suggestion was to empty the cups, to which I say, my cup being filled with beer....SALUD!

I say if you really want to express zen in a few words, just say;
The here and now..

Zen is the flow of Mind.

This is the best thread to post this in..
From the GReat scripture of Perfect Insight:
When bodhisattva-mahasattvas practice perfect insight, they do not see bodhisattva-mahasattvas, or perfect insight, or even these two names, either in the realm of the created or in the realm of the uncreated. Why? When bodhisattva-mahasattvas practice perfect insight they do not conceive notions of anything and have no alienated thinking. When bodhisattva-mahasattvas practice perfect insight they remain free from concepts.
