The Wise Woman & The Zen Master

True teaching, true learning, and true unlearning is not about getting anything. It is just like true love: if you love someone because of what you “get” from them, your love is already doomed from the start. So the proper relationship to a teacher is what we can GIVE to them. And the greatest gift that we can bring to a teacher and a relationship is Emptiness. This giving is what allows us to receive beyond the dimensions of our preconceptions.
