A Cup of Tea
At a temple,
a learned professor seeks Zen.
Master Nan-yin offers tea.
He pours…and he pours.
“But…it is overflowing!”
“Like this cup, you are full of concepts and ideas …
Is there room for Zen?”

Scholar - 'Where do we go when we die?'
Master - 'How am I supposed to know?'
Scholar - 'How do you not know? You're a Zen master!'
Master - 'Yes, but not a dead one.'

It's beautiful. Reminds me of another Zen story. Probably a sequel to the one you posted. Here goes:
Scholar: I know everything. what do you know?
Master Joshu: I know nothing.
