Comments on: Conflict zen and the overflowing teacup http://conflictzen.com/conflict-zen-and-the-overflowing-teacup/ conflict resolution tips for work and life Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:29:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: thefutureisvegan http://conflictzen.com/conflict-zen-and-the-overflowing-teacup/#comment-11755 thefutureisvegan Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:38:32 +0000 http://conflictzen.com/conflict-zen-and-the-overflowing-teacup/#comment-11755 Nice post. Among other things, this story is about "beginner's mind" and humility. One cannot learn if one is so puffed up with his preconceptions. Also, a good teacher has all the attributes of a good student because, if the teacher is overly proud, the student will resist. When knowledge is shared with humility it is easily digested even if the student is a little prideful. Nice post. Among other things, this story is about “beginner’s mind” and humility.
