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.

Compassionate Diligence | The Six Paramitas
The third type of diligence is that which benefits sentient beings. This is the diligence of great bodhisattvas Who will pursue sentient beings to hell, heaven, or any all other realm of existence, to ensure that they will gain liberation. This kind of dedication to assure the liberation of ordinary people is very different from the romantic pursuits of men and women. Bodhisattvas do not expect anything from sentient beings, and they are not there to impose any ideas, or to force anything upon others. Bodhisattvas are there to benefit sentient beings, to make them feel secure and at ease, and to provide them with opportunities to move towards liberation.
