Hatred (or Anger) refers to one of the �Three Poisons� which are known in Tibetan as nyon mongs.—Accordingly, the delusions (Tibetan: nyon mongs; Sanskrit: ś) are also translated as “afflictions� or “defilements� and represent the fundamental negative factors that, along with karma, serve to keep sentient beings in their samsaric condition and must be uprooted for liberation to occur. Lists of delusions are manifold, and range from the so-called three poisons [e.g., hatred], to the twenty deluded mental factors specified in abhidharma, to symbolically potent but nonspecific references to 84,000 delusions.
