Definitions
In the Khenjuk, Mipham Rinpoche says
(Tib. མ་ཆགས་པ་ནི་སྲིད་པ་དང་སྲིད་པའི་ཡོ་བྱད་ལ་མ་ཆགས་པ་སྟེ་ཉེས་སྤྱོད་ལ་མི་འཇུག་པར་བྱེད་པའོ།)
- Non-attachment is the absence of desire towards [samsaric] existence or worldly things. It makes one not engage in negative actions. (▷RIGPA, Erik Pema Kunsang)
