著名的“抗拒恐惧的心法”(Litany Against Fear):
我绝不能恐惧。
恐惧会扼杀思维能力。
恐惧是潜伏的死神,会彻底毁灭一个人。
我要容忍恐惧。
我要让它掠过我的心头,穿越我的身心。
当这一切过去之后,我将睁开心灵深处的眼睛,审视它的轨迹。
恐惧如风,风过无痕。
惟有我依然屹立。
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
