Nekkhamma ========= 'Freedom from Sensual Lust', renunciation. 'To go forth (into the homeless state of a monk)', this term is in the Pali texts nevertheless used as if it were derived from 'kama', lust, and always as an antonym to 'kama'. It is one of the ten perfections (s. parami). eg. 'Sankappa', thought free from lust, or thought of renunciation, is one of the three kinds of Right Thought (samma-sankappa), the second link of the noble eightfold path, its antonym being 'kama-sankappa', lustful thought.
