Pradāśa (Sanskrit; Tibetan phonetic: tsikpa) is a Buddhist term translated as "spite" or "spitefulness". It is defined as an attitude based on fury/indignation ( krodha) and resentment ( upanāha) in which one is unable or unwilling to forgive; it causes one to utter harsh words. [1] [2] It is one of the twenty subsidiary unwholesome mental factors within the Mahayana Abhidharma teachings.
The Abhidharma-samuccaya states:
- What is spite (pradāśa)? It is a vindictive attitude preceded by fury/indignation ( krodha) and resentment ( upanāha)–forming part of anger–and its function is to become the basis for harsh and strong words, to increase what is not meritorious, and not to allow one to feel happy. [1]
Spite is a derivative of anger ( pratigha). [3]
