null not as an act, but as the absence of act :) (the analogy is lacking, I know).

That's actually what I'm speaking to.

The Mahayana tradition (in particular Zen) is the one that focuses more on not doing; where-as Theravada very much puts forth the practice as an act of doing. The usual language is to "turn towards" what is happening, not to simply "be one" with it.
