Anger - one of the root disturbing emotions.
Translation
The word 'anger' translates several Tibetan including khongtro (khong khro) and shyédang (zhe sdang). His Holiness the Dalai Lama has advised that the latter term should be translated as hatred, because the word anger can sometimes, in rare circumstances, be seen as positive, whereas hatred like zhe sdang can never be positive. However, when it appears in the context of tantra, he says, it should be translated as anger.
