Nekkhamma
Nekkhamma (Sanskrit: नैष्काम्य) is a Pali word generally translated as "renunciation" or "the pleasure of renunciation" while also conveying more specifically "giving up the world and leading a holy life" or "freedom from lust, craving and desires." In Buddhism's Noble Eightfold Path, nekkhamma is the first practice associated with "Right Intention." In the Theravada list of ten perfections, nekkhamma is the third practice of "perfection." It involves non-attachment (detachment).

Tot cavalcant com si fos el primer cop
Desconeixes la ignorància que ens envolta en un entorn

Continuaràs la ruta amb el fang, fins a sentir-te inclòs
Arribaràs amb rosada a les parpelles com si no fos un
esforç
Topes amb els murs que tenies davant, dins el més fred
bosc
Però recordes l'experiència d'un paisatge homenatjant el
tros
Confisca, doncs, de la realitat, l'ara, un bocí de
bellesa per sempre
I demana per un instant, la tramuntana de cara, com el
més ferm repte
Continuaràs la ruta amb el fang, fins a sentir-te inclòs
Arribaràs amb rosada a les parpelles com si no fos un
