Three causes of disturbing emotions (Tib. ཉོན་མོངས་སྐྱེ་བའི་རྒྱུ་གསུམ་, nyönmong kyewé gyu sum, Wyl. nyon mongs skye ba'i rgyu gsum) given in the Abhidharma are:

  1. not having abandoned the latent tendencies or predispositions (Tib. ཉོན་མོངས་པའི་བག་ལ་ཉལ་མ་སྤང་, nyönmongpé bak la nyal ma pang, Wyl. nyon mongs pa’i bag la nyal ma spang),
  2. coming into contact with a provocative object (Tib. ཉོན་མོངས་སྐྱེ་བའི་སྐྱེ་བའི་ཡུལ་ ཉེ་བར་གནས་པ་, nyönmong kyewé yul nyewar nepa, Wyl. nyon mongs skye ba’i yul nye bar gnas pa), and
  3. incorrect thinking/unhelpful attitude (Tib. ཚུལ་ ཞིན་མ་ཡིན་པ་ཡིད་ལ་བྱེད་པ་, tsul shyin mayinpa yi la jepa, Wyl. tshul zhin ma yin pa yid la byed pa)
