A Zen story empty your cup

This is a beautiful animation of Zen Story called Empty your cup.

A seeker of truth goes to a Zen Master. The seeker's head was full with ideas about the truth, life, spirituality. It was read by the The Zen Master's eyes.

The Zen master started pouring the tea in the cup, he continued to pour the tea even after the cup was full and the tea began to spill over from the cup. The seeker on seeing this pointed out to the Zen Master that cup was full and the pouring more tea was pointless.

To this the Master replied, "Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

Indicating that unless one goes with the calm and attentive mind free from ideas, the master cannot help.

The Art of Warfare

Happened to watch the animated video clip on The Art of Warfare. It was pleasing to watch the video clip for it's animation quality and the background music along with the vocals. Very beautiful, was not able to understand the perhaps the Chinese or Japanese language, regardless of not understanding the language it was nice to watch. On further searching for "The Art of Warfare" in google search i came found it's details on wikipedia and one of the pages from the first page of search the English translation from the original chinese text by Sun Tzu.
