ZenStories' Commentary - Joshu's Zen
Do Nothing! Neither Throw It Out Nor Carry It Out. @101ZenStories Joshu began the study of Zen when he was sixty years old and continued until he was eighty, when he realized Zen.

A student once asked him: “If I haven’t anything in my mind, what shall I do?”Joshu replied: “Throw it out.” “But if I haven’t anything, how can I throw it out?” continued the questioner. “Well,” said Joshu, “then carry it out.”
