<p>逢着天门 Does anyone know the meaning of this saying or idiom? It is part of the commentary to a Shenshu verse, which doesn't really make sense to me, but it seems this expression more or less explains the verse. </p>

`逢着` during the time.,  `天门` a mythical occasion similar to "constellations arrangement".   So `逢着天门` simply mean `during specific constellations arrangement`.
