The three gateways to liberation (Tib. རྣམ་ཐར་སྒོ་གསུམ་, nam tar go sum; Wyl. rnam thar sgo gsum) are features of all phenomena which provide a means to realize their absolute nature. They are:

  1. emptiness (Skt. śūnyatā; Tib. སྟོང་པ་ཉིད་, tongpa nyi; Wyl. stong pa nyid)
  2. absence of characteristics or attributes (Skt. animitta; Tib. མཚན་ཉིད་མེད་པ་, tsen nyi mépa; Wyl. mtshan nyid med pa)
  3. wishlessness, absence of expectancy (Skt. apraṇihita; Tib. སྨོན་པ་མེད་པ་, mönpa mépa; Wyl. smon pa med pa)
