Come with an open mind & return rejuvenated enough to proclaim, "my cup runneth over".

EMPTY YOUR CUP

A university professor went to a famous Zen master. While the master quietly served tea, the professor talked about Zen. 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 Zen unless you first empty your cup."

People's reactions to this story:

"You cannot learn anything if you already feel that you know." «Preconceived ideas and prejudices always prevent us from seeing the truth."

"WHOSOEVER KNOWETH THE POWER OF THE DANCE, DWELLETH IN GOD," CRIES THE PERSIAN DERVISH POET RUMI IMPULSIVELY.

The autointoxication of rapturous movement brings the devotees, for a while at least into that self-forgetful union with the non-self, which the mystic ever seeks.

WHEN I DANCE, I CANNOT JUDGE, I CANNOT HATE, I CANNOT SEPARATE MYSELF FROM LIFE.

DANCE, IN ITS ESSENCE, IS SIMPLY LIFE ON A HIGHER LEVEL.
