Sample Book Insights:
#1 The empty cup approach means receiving everything that is taught in an open way, withholding judgment about it until you’ve had a chance to try it out. Try your best to understand what is being communicated, then give it a fair chance to work.
#2 The Buddhist teachings on the learning process use the metaphor of the cup to symbolize four types of students. The first cup is upside down, representing a student who is supposedly there to learn, but pays no attention. The second cup is right side up, but has a hole in the bottom. The third cup is right side up and doesn’t have a hole in it, but the inside is covered with dirt. The fourth cup represents the ideal way to be a student.
#3 The Nine Dots Exercise involves drawing four straight lines that connect all nine dots without lifting your pencil from the paper. To solve the puzzle, your lines must go beyond the right edge of the box and then beyond the bottom of the box.
#4 Par is an example of an illusory box that mid- to high-handicap golfers create for themselves. They should instead think outside of it. When measuring your score against the same number in widely different conditions, you will feel much more at ease approaching a difficult hole from this new perspective.
