The verse at upper side is the 57th rule of"Book of Equanimity","A thing of Yiyang".

厳陽尊者問趙州 一物不将来時如何

   州云   放下著

   厳云   一物不将来放下箇甚麼

   州云   恁麼則擔取去

Venerable Yiyang questioned Zhaozhou,

    "What to do when I bring nothing?"

Zhaozhou said, "Throw it out."

Yiyang said,

  "What am I throwing away when I have nothing?"

Zhaozhou said, "Then carry it away."
