The five poisons (Skt. pañca kleśaviṣa; Tib. དུག་ལྔ་, duk nga, Wyl. dug lnga) are the following disturbing emotions:

1. desire,
2. anger,
3. delusion or ignorance,
4. pride,
5. jealousy.

These five can be further condensed into the three poisons: pride is a combination of ignorance and desire (or attachment), and jealousy is a combination of attachment and aggression.
