About this ebook
This first book in a new series of 'OSHO SOLUTIONS" consists of a single talk by Osho and uses a Zen story as a teaching tool to deepen the readers understanding how to deal with anger. Understanding is totally different approach compared to 'self-help' or 'how-to' models which often try to give outside solutions for an inner problem. Osho brings a clarity to this issue and helps your own inner understanding to solve problems.

Introduction
The title of this little book might give you the idea that you have found another self-help or how to
book. This is far from the case. Instead, the Osho insights provided here open a door where all questions of how to
dissolve into a direct experience of your own hidden reality.
We reduce everything into a how. There is a great how-to-ism all over the world, and every person, particularly the modern contemporary mind, has become a how-to-er: how to do this, how to do that, how to grow rich, how to be successful, how to influence people and win friends, how to meditate, even how to love. The day is not far off when some stupid guy is going to ask how to breathe.
It is not a question of how at all. Don’t reduce life into technology. Life reduced into technology loses all flavor of joy.
Osho: The Book of Wisdom, #18
Some of the ideas you encounter here may at first surprise or even shock you. They may go against your beliefs or they may trigger recognition of truths that you feel you have always known but perhaps never expressed.
Whatever the case, relax into new levels of understanding that grow as you come closer and closer to the truth of your own being.
No, this is not a how to
book. It is a flame that can be used to light the hidden corners of your own unique individuality.

Next Time You Feel Angry…
A Zen student came to Bankei and said: Master, I have an ungovernable temper – how can I cure it?
Show me this temper,
said Bankei, it sounds fascinating.
I haven’t got it right now,
said the student, so I can’t show it to you.
Well then,
said Bankei, bring it to me when you have it.
But I can’t bring it just when I happen to have it,
protested the student. It arises unexpectedly, and I would surely lose it before I got it to you.
In that case,
said Bankei, it cannot be part of your true nature. If it were, you could show it to me at any time. When you were born you did not have it, and your parents did not give it to you – so it must come into you from the outside. I suggest that whenever it gets into you, you beat yourself with a stick until the temper can’t stand it, and runs away.
The true nature is your eternal nature. You cannot have it and not have it, it is not something that comes and goes – it is
