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.
