   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

samādhi

In Hinduism and Buddhism, a total absorption in meditation. For Buddhists it is one of the three main components (with prajñā, wisdom, and shila, ethical living) in the Buddhist path to nirvana. It refers to meditation and to clearing the mind of all thoughts. In such a state, the individual is receptive to enlightenment. In Hinduism it represents a trancelike state in which mental activity ceases.
