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.

THE WORLD AS SANGHA | A Pure Land on Earth
If the Sangha is the community of Buddhists, then true Buddhists see the world as their Sangha. This is not to say that we should see all people as Buddhists, but that we should see them as parents, brothers, sisters, and children, all deserving of our compassionate care. And it all starts within the small circle of earth that each one of us inhabits at any given moment. This is where peacework begins–within our own bodies, hearts, and minds. It is concrete, it is direct, it is simple, and it is the way of the Buddha.
