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 Path out of Suffering | There Is No Suffering
The path out of suffering is to emulate the bodhisattva way by generating bodhi-mind, and acting with compassion in our hearts, and Buddhadharma in our thoughts. It is a process of cultivation called the eightfold noble path.32 Although we understand the need to stop suffering and being prey to the causes of suffering our karmic burden makes it difficult to find cessation. We need the fourth noble truth to remind us. We also need to practice the path, which is the gradual non-accumulation of the causes of suffering through the three studies ( tripitaka) of precepts ( sila-vinaya), concentration (samadhi), and wisdom (prajna).
