Losing Losing Your Temper

Temper: an angry state of mind.
Temperamental: the tendency to behave angrily or emotionally.

The speed at which we lose our temper and become angry indicates the degree of volatility in the mind we are working with. When we lose our temper, we cause havoc. Losing our temper is over-reacting.

Losing that temper:
That temper isn’t us;
it is the state of our mind
– our mind-set.

We can actually lose that temper
by being aware of its effect.
That is precisely why it is our perfect teacher.

This is the work on the path to enlightenment.
