The '''uncategorized absolute''' (Skt. ''aparyāyaparamārtha''; Tib. [[རྣམ་གྲངས་མ་ཡིན་པའི་དོན་དམ་]] [[Wyl.]] ''rnam grangs ma yin pa'i don dam'') is described as the actual [[absolute truth]], free from all [[conceptual elaboration]], such as 'existence', 'non-existence', 'arising', 'non-arising' and so on. It is connected with [[primordial wisdom]] and the state of [[meditative absorption]].
