Aimlessness (Buddhism)
Aimlessness or uncommittedness or wishlessness is a form of "concentration" in some schools of Buddhist meditation. The concept is particularly associated with the teachings of Thích Nhất Hạnh, who counts aimlessness as the third form of "concentration" or "Third Door of Liberation". The term apraṇihita literally means 'to place nothing in front' and is used to designate someone who has no aims for the future and no desire for the objects of perception.Aimless wandering refers to both "samsara" and a mindfulness practice of exploration without destination that often takes the form of a walking meditation. In this practice, attention is paid to one's sensory perception of the experience rather than one's thoughts about the experience.
