Alobha
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone! 🙏🙏🙏
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Alobha (Sanskrit, Pali; Tibetan Wylie: Ma chags pa) is a Buddhist term translated as "non-Attachment". 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. It is one of the virtuous Mental factors within the Abhidharma teachings. Alobha: Greedlessness is one of the 3 kammically advantageous roots Mūla.
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.
