English term: Pretension
English Definition: Pretension, derived from ignorance and attachment, means pretending to have virtues one does not possess in order to gain profit and honor from others. It is the basis for other afflictions and leads to a life of falsehood. Vasubandhu classifies it as a mental factor within the 10 minor afflicted bases, while Asanga classifies it within the 20 secondary afflictions.
