The Empty Cup

What is devotion?
Blind faith, admiration, emotional dependence... or something else entirely?
In this episode of The Empty Cup, we explore devotion as "gratitude for Wisdom" and reflect on how to relate to teachers with both openness and discernment. How can we recognise the Wisdom that shines through someone without idealising the person? And what happens when teachers reveal their humanity—or fail to live up to our expectations?
A reflection on trust, perception, gratitude, and the delicate art of keeping the heart open without losing clarity.

What is The Empty Cup?

An empty cup is not blankness; it’s availability. It is the willingness to look more closely at our assumptions, to meet life in a relaxed manner with an open heart. Open to accepting the present moment as it is. If your mind is full—full of opinions, expectations, habitual thinking—, this podcast invites you to sit back, relax and be emptied.
