Abiding in direct-presence mindfulness (住對面念: older translations of scriptures, keeping the Sanskrit sense, called this the pratyutpanna-samādhi, or translated it as 'the buddhas directly manifest before one'. This refers to speedy resonance; that is, entering the supreme concentration of manifest spiritual penetration in a single instant. Because Sanskrit phrasing is subtle and capable of containing multiple meanings, it is difficult to translate fully into this land. In various scriptures it is translated either as the 'samādhi of spiritual penetration' or called the 'single-practice samādhi' (ekavyūha-samādhi), each capturing only a partial meaning).
