‘A monk asked, “What does it mean to say,: ‘Having come upon it, he doesn’t seize it. His mind aroused, he realizes its presence.’?”
The Master joined his palms and raised them to his head.’ (from the Record of Dongshan)
This is “turning away and touching are both wrong,” from the Jewel Mirror Samadhi. We meet whatever it is without seizing, but with full presence.
