El Zen de Joshu

Un estudiante le preguntó al maestro Zen Joshu:
"Si no tengo nada en la mente, que debo hacer?
Joshu respondió: "descártelo".
"Pero como podría descartar algo que no tengo?" continuó el estudiante.
"Bueno", dijo Joshu, "entonces llévelo a cabo".

A student once asked to Zen Master Joshu: "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.
