Sakka, the Lord of gods, O monks, is not free from lust, not free from hate, not free from delusion, and is therefore liable to fear, terror, fright and flight. I also say unto you O monks - if any fear, terror or hair standing on end should arise in you when you have gone to the forest or to the foot of a tree, or to an empty house (lonely place), then think only of me thus:

If you fail to think of me, then think of the Dhamma (the Doctrine) thus : "Well expounded is the Dhamma by the Blessed One, a Dhamma to be realized by oneself and gives immediate results, a Dhamma which invites investigation and leads up to Nibbana, a Dhamma to be understood by the wise each for himself." Monks, if you think of the Dhamma, any fear, terror or hair standing on end, that may arise in you, will pass away.

If you fail to think of the Dhamma, then think of the Sangha (the Order)

Indifferent brighty fiercy novel pride would be the paradigm.

It may anyway not be too wise to still stiffly stick to such good old holy buddhistic rubbish that you usually are bombarded with from many venal sources, as they primarily emphasize on your fear so they may extract your humble submission and your money from you.

An unusual novel strategy for new paradigms of virtuosity and virtuality would be appropriate, because only a sort of blazing dazzling Zen so far is the highest point that is available, but anyway it is still the smallest and the most average point that so far is touchable.

Therefore it may be necessary with a further fiercy strategy of brighty and genial strikingly novel search. Fear, trembling and terror might then be generously serenely delegated unto those who love to speak about them for a more or less confessed ruling thirst and for a professional outcome.
