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.

Suffering Caused by the Mind | There Is No Suffering
Another cause of suffering is that in addition to bodily form, we have consciousness. Mental suffering comes from experiencing the cycles of the arising, abiding, changing, and perishing of dharmas. These include not getting what we want, having to tolerate what we do not like, and being separate from what we cherish. These three situations cover nearly all aspects of mental suffering.
