The Three Principal Aspects of the Path by Je Tsongkhapa, refer to Renunciation (the wish for freedom), Bodhicitta (the altruistic intention) and Wisdom (understanding how things truly exist).
Having recognized that any state within cyclic existence involves suffering, the practitioner develops a strong wish for freedom. To cut the root of cyclic existence it is necessary to know how things exist at the most fundamental level. It is also important to have an altruistic intention to act selflessly for the good and happiness of all living beings.
