Glossary of Buddhism

Alobha (Sanskrit, Pali; Tibetan Wylie: ma chags pa) is a Buddhist term translated as "non-attachment" or "non-greed". It is defined as the absence of attachment or desire towards worldly things or worldly existence. It causes one to not engage in unwholesome actions. [1] [2] It is one of the virtuous mental factors within the Abhidharma teachings.

The Abhidharma-samuccaya states:

What is alobha? It is not to be attached to a mode of life and all that is involved with it. It functions in providing the basis for not being caught up in non-virtuous action. [1]
