Is Your Cup Empty or Full? Why Bruce Lee Emptied His Cup Regularly


Summary

Humility is a fundamental principle in martial arts, yet some practitioners overlook this value, choosing aggression and arrogance instead. If you know someone like this, consider sharing a classic Zen story from "The Warrior Within" by John Little.

The Zen Tale

From the outset, a Zen Master noticed a professor seemed more focused on showcasing his own knowledge than truly understanding Zen. As the master spoke, the professor frequently interrupted with comments like, "Oh, yes, we have that too."

Finally, the Zen Master paused and began pouring tea for the professor, continuing until the cup overflowed.

"Enough! The cup is overfull, no more will go in!" exclaimed the professor.

"Indeed," replied the master. "Like this cup, you are full of your own opinions. To taste my tea, you must first empty your cup."

This story beautifully highlights the importance of humility and open-mindedness. As martial artists, we must remember we don’t know everything and always have room to learn from others, including our instructors.

Bruce Lee’s Legacy

Bruce Lee, a legendary martial artist, embodied this open-mindedness. Although he passed away on July 21, 1973, his influence endures. Known for his action movies and remarkable martial arts skills, Lee constantly sought knowledge and improvement. He studied various martial arts with an ever-empty cup, ready to be filled with new insights.

So, have you emptied your cup recently? Reflect on this Zen story and assess whether your own cup is ready to be filled.
