Maybe Equinimity could be a better option?

heard it hundreds of times during my vipassana retreat.



That is a much better choice of word. Where "indifference" connotes negatively (not caring about something you should care about), "equanimity" connotes very positively (maintaining an even temper and a mind unclouded by instinctual reaction in circumstances where others fall to rage or terror; "keeping your head when all about you are losing theirs").
