In Hinduism, it is one of the Five Poisons or kleshas. Walpola Rahula translated it as "hatred", as did Chögyam Trungpa.
In Buddhism In Buddhism, 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 is symbolically present as the snake in the center of Tibetan bhavacakra drawings. Dvesha (Pali: dosa) is identified in the following contexts within the Buddhist teachings: One of the three poisons (trivisah) within the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. One of the three unwholesome roots within the Theravada Buddhist tradition One of the fourteen unwholesome mental factors within the Theravada Abhidharma teachings Advesha or adveṣa (Sanskrit; ; Tibetan Wylie: zhes sdang med pa) is a Buddhist term translated as "non-aggression" or "non-hatred". It is defined as the absence of an aggressive attitude towards someone or something that causes pain.Guenther (1975), Kindle Locations 538-539.Kunsang (2004), p. 25. It is one of the mental factors within the Abhidharma teachings. The Abhidharma-samuccaya states:
What is advesha? It is the absence of the intention to harm sentient beings, to quarrel with frustrating situations, and to inflict suffering on those who are the cause of frustration. It functions as a basis for not getting involved with unwholesome behavior.
In Hinduism Yoga Sutras II.8 describes dvesha (aversion) as originating from encounters with pain. In his commentary, Vyasa explains that aversion manifests as resistance, anger, frustration, or resentment toward anything associated with past painful experiences. Aversion is also closely related to attachment, as both are rooted in past experiences.
