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 Way of the Bodhisattva | There Is No Suffering
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, while coursing in deep prajnaparamita, perceived that the five skandhas are empty, and transcended all suffering.These opening lines of the Heart Sutra are laden with meaning; they introduce terms—bodhisattva, prajnaparamita,8 skandhas,9 and suffering—that need discussion in detail. I will begin by discussing the attitude, the practice, the methods, and lastly, the special quality of a bodhisattva.
