Great passage to share! As Kingmi said so eloquently, emptying is Eastern philosophy, filling is Western philosophy.

but what if by accident it was filled with the non-worthy...ah...I guess that one can empty the trash as much as one needs...

Q-A, that is precisely the point. To intend to re-fill with more positives -- even if it is inadvertant and you just have to empty it again. Filling is so natural, I think that is whytheEastern meditations focus on emptying it.

Emptying my mind could be a good thing...I just hope it gets filled back up with something worthwhile.

xeno, emptying is classic Eastern philosophy, filling is Western.
