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.

Patience with Regard to the Environment | The Six Paramitas
Patience with regard to the environment means enduring pain and difficulty when faced with natural calamities, hurricanes, great storms, extreme cold or heat, and so on. Furthermore, Buddhists view their physical bodies as being made up of the same four elements that make up the environment: earth, fire, water, and wind. When the body is not in harmony with itself, or when we are ill, it is the result of an imbalance of the four elements. Therefore, patience with regard to the environment includes patience with one’s own body and its troubles
