A. ‘What you can send back’ implies all words, labels such as person, male, female, Korean, Briton, father, mother, son, daughter, tall, short, young, old and so on that define your identity because they are not innate but artificial, or attached to you after your birth. ‘Send back’ here means to remove, or to detach.
Detaching all the words, imaginary labels from you that define your identity means removing all boundaries that confine your being within your physical body. The boundless state is referred to as the true-Self, Emptiness, or the Buddha, the boundless state is formless, the formless state is unchangeable, and the unchangeable state has no beginning and no end, which is no other than the essence of your being.
