In the Noble Eightfold Path, renunciation (nishkama) is the first of three components associated with Right Thought (the other two are good will and harmlessness).
Renunciation is best understood as the perfection of detachment: seeing the futility of craving, and methodically letting go of the causes of suffering.
Genuine renunciation requires thoroughly perceiving how we make ourselves unhappy by craving and grasping, and proceeding to free ourselves from attachment, aversion, and indifference by releasing these afflicted emotions. Far from leading to a state of deprivation, renunciation is a positive and liberating act that establishes us in peace and contentment.
