egolessness
Absence of vanity
Egolessness is the state of being without ego—the absence of self-centered concern or preoccupation with one's own importance.
The term appears most often in Buddhist and meditative contexts, where egolessness is a goal: releasing attachment to the self as a fixed, separate entity.
Through years of practice, she cultivated a genuine egolessness.
The word can also describe selfless action or humility in everyday contexts.
