The '''Three poisons''' or in [[Sanskrit]] either ''triviṣa'' or ''triklesha'', in [[Tibetan]] ''dug gsum'', is an expression from [[Buddhism]], [[Ayurvedic medicine]] and Tibetan medicine that refers to the most common [[emotion]]al - [[mental]] [[affliction]]s that beings experience.
They are featured in the center of the archetypal Tibetan [[Buddhist]] tangkha painting called the Wheel of Life and there are represented as a [[pig]], [[snake]] and [[bird]] representing [[ignorance]], [[anger]] and [[desire]].
The trivisha or triklesha are variously explained as:
# [[Greed]] - [[desire]] - [[lust]] - [[attachment]]: Vata dosha in Ayurvedic medicine. Related to wind element, as in "winds of desire"
# [[Anger]] - [[hate]]: Pitta dosha, related to fire element
# [[Ignorance]] or [[stupidity]]: Kapha dosha - related to earth element
==Alternate Translation==
* 'destructive emotions'
