Joshu's Reply The Zen Way
Joshu, the Zen master started his Zen study in the age of sixty and continued to learn until he was eighty. After realizing Zen at the age of eighty, he started teaching until he was one hundred and twenty.

One day a student asked him " What should I do with my mind since it is empty"

Joshu replied "Throw it out"

"If haven't anything, how can I throw it? Asked back the student.

Joshu replied back "Then carry it out".
