what's wu?
-
Wu (無) most fundamentally means no/not. Its meaning ranges from "without" or "lacking" to "does not have" to "it is not the case" or "there is not," etc. Usually invoked to indicate an absence.

OK, I'm officially embarassed. Thank you for the correction. Wonderful to have your expertise and knowledge.

No big deal! Wu (無) also features prominently in the Heart Sūtra, just not as the equivalent of śūnyatā. It functions instead in the same capacity as the Sanskrit "na," a general negator.
