Dvesha (Sanskrit, also dveṣa; Pali: dosa; Tibetan: zhe sdang) - is a Buddhist term that is translated as "hate, aversion".
Dvesha (hate, aversion) is the opposite of raga (lust, desire). Along with Raga and Moha, Dvesha is one of the three character afflictions that, in part, cause Dukkha. It is also one of the "threefold fires" in Buddhist Pali canon that must be quenched.
Dvesha (dosa) is identified in the following contexts within the Buddhist teachings:
Walpola Rahula renders it as "hatred", as does Chogyam Trungpa.
