In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Domanassa means unpleasant feeling in mind.
Source: Journey to Nibbana: Patthana Dhamalit. 'sad-mindedness', grief,
i.e. mentally painful feeling (cetasika-vedanā), is one of the 5 feelings (vedanā, q.v.) and one of the 22 faculties (indriya, q.v.).
According to the Abhidhamma, grief is always associated with antipathy and grudge, and therefore karmically unwholesome (akusala, q.v.) Cf. Tab. I. 30, 31.
