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 Precepts | There Is No Suffering
Upholding the precepts simply means disavowing unwholesome acts and honoring wholesome acts; we perform the ten virtuous actions and avoid the ten non-virtuous actions. Maintaining the precepts means practicing morality, and letting them guide us to stability and harmony. Guided by the precepts, you will check your behavior. And when you break a precept, you will likely repent your action. With practice, your conduct in all situations will improve and become stable and natural. This will reduce accumulation of the causes of suffering, or at least the accumulation of non-virtuous actions.
