Definition
无碍 literally means 'without obstacle' and is used both concretely (e.g., unimpeded traffic) and abstractly (e.g., smoothly progressing work). In Buddhist contexts, it describes a state of unobstructed wisdom or enlightenment, often seen in compounds like 圆融无碍 (perfectly unimpeded). It functions as a predicate or complement, not as an adverb.
