r/zen is a reddit forum about Zen scholarship, study, and practice.
Summary:
Zhaozhou, teaching the assembly, "The Ultimate Path is without difficulty; just avoid picking and choosing. As soon as there are words and speech, 'this is picking and choosing,' 'this is clarity.' This old monk does not abide within clarity; do you still preserve anything or not?"
Once there was a monk who asked, "Since you do not abide in clarity, what is to be preserved?"
Zhaozhou said, "I don't know either."
