===== Aimlessness-samadhi=====
'Aimlessness', also translated as 'uncommittedness' or 'wishlessness' ([[Chinese language|Chinese]] {{lang|zh-Latn|wúyuàn}} {{lang|zh|無願}}, {{lit|non-wishing}}, or {{lang|zh-Latn|wúzuò}} {{lang|zh|無作}}, {{lit|non-arising}}), literally means 'placing nothing in front'. According to Dan Lusthaus, aimlessness-samadhi is characterised by a lack of aims or plans for the future and no desire for the objects of perception.{{refn|group=note|{{harvnb|Lusthaus|2014|p=266}}: "Sangharakshita translates ''apraṇihita'' as 'Aimlessness,' while Conze uses 'Wishless', and writes in ''Buddhist Thought in India'' (Ann Arbor: [[University of Michigan Press]], 1967) p. 67: "The word a-pra-ni—hita means literally that one 'places nothing in front' and it designates someone who makes no plans for the future, has no hopes for it, who is aimless, not bent on anything, without predilection or desire for the objects of perception rejected by the concentration on the Signless [''animitta'']."}} According to Nagarjuna, aimlessness-samadhi is the ''samādhi'' in which one does not search for any kind of existence (''bhāva''), letting go of aims or wishes (''praṇidhāna'') regarding [[Saṅkhāra|conditioned phenomena]] and not producing the [[three poisons]] (namely, passion, aggression, and ignorance) towards them in the future.{{sfnp|Nagarjuna|2001}}
