The door of Ch’an is entered by Wu. When we meditate on Wu we ask “What is Wu?” On entering Wu, we experience emptiness; we are not aware of existence, either ours or the world’s.

PEACE--FROM THE BUDDHIST'S POINT OF VIEW | A Pure Land on Earth
The Buddhist approach to fostering peace grows out of wisdom cultivated in meditation and shared with others in a wide range of activities, among which teaching and exemplary behavior are paramount. Buddhism teaches us that the causes of conflict and war lie within ourselves; it also teaches us how to constructively temper our own tendency to generate conflict. Underlying this is the Buddhist idea that peace in society begins with peace within oneself This cultivated inner peace numerically expands from one person to the next until we can truly say that we both act and think locally as well as globally. Simply by sharing our inner peace on a one-on-one basis, we can have a staggering effect on global peace.
