| − | '''[[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. It is one of the twenty subsidiary unwholesome [[mental factors]] within the [[Mahayana]] [[Abhidharma]] teachings.
