Not attached to anything
A student once asked him: "If I haven't anything in my mind, what shall I do?"
Zhaozhou: Throw it out.
student: What else is there to throw out?
Zhaozhou: Then carry it out.
commentary：
One who says he is not attached to anything - even that idea of non-attachment must be abandoned. One who is attached to the idea of non-attachment will never know silence of mind.
僧人： 一物不将来时如何？
赵州： 放下着。
僧人： 一物也无，究竟要放下什么？
赵州： 放不下，那你就带着吧。
评注：
不持一物，就应该把这个不持一物的观念也要舍弃，既然那么重视不持一物，那就永远无法达致清澄的心境。
