Pratigha
Pratigha (Sanskrit; Pali: paṭigha; Tibetan Wylie: "khong khro") is a Buddhist term that is translated as "anger". It is defined as a hostile attitude towards sentient beings, towards frustration, and towards that which gives rise to one's frustrations; it functions as a basis for faultfinding, for negative actions, and for not finding a moment of peace or happiness. "Pratigha" is identified as: Definitions. Theravada. Patigha (Pali) is defined by Theravada sources as: anger, repulsion, collision; animosity; irritation; indignation. Nyanatiloka Mahatheran provides the following definition: Mahayana. The Abhidharma-samuccaya states: Alexander Berzin states that "pratigha" is aimed at "another  limited being, one's own suffering, or situations entailing suffering". This involves being impatient with the objects of the "pratigha" ("anger"), and wishing to get rid of them, for example, by striking out against them and harming them. It is based on regarding the object as unattractive or repulsive by its very nature. Berzin identifies "dvesha" (aversion) as a subcategory of "pratigha" (anger) that is directed primarily, although not exclusively, at limited beings.
