現(xiàn)在我要探究的是，如何擺脫對(duì)已知的恐懼汁咏？所謂對(duì)已知的恐懼亚斋，就是恐懼失去家庭，失去名聲攘滩，失去個(gè)性帅刊，失去銀行戶頭，失去欲望等等漂问。也許你會(huì)說(shuō)赖瞒，恐懼是因道德心而生，而道德心是因你的局限而產(chǎn)生级解，仍是已知的產(chǎn)物冒黑。那么，我的已知——亦即知識(shí)勤哗，究竟是什么抡爹？是內(nèi)心的理念，對(duì)事物的見(jiàn)解芒划，是關(guān)乎已知的延續(xù)感冬竟，除此無(wú)他。
人們恐懼痛苦民逼。生理痛苦是一種神經(jīng)反應(yīng)泵殴，當(dāng)我執(zhí)著于那些滋生滿足感的事物，又擔(dān)心被剝奪時(shí)拼苍，心理痛苦就產(chǎn)生了笑诅。我的精神積蓄只要不被擾動(dòng)，就可以抵御心理痛苦。也就是說(shuō)吆你，我弦叶，就是一堆經(jīng)驗(yàn)的集合，可以防御任何嚴(yán)重的心理干擾，我不想受到干擾。所以贞绵，我恐懼任何擾亂我精神積蓄的人，我的恐懼是針對(duì)已知立莉，我擔(dān)心物質(zhì)或精神積蓄——這是我匯集起來(lái)，抵擋痛苦七问、防御憂患的工具蜓耻。知識(shí)能幫助我們抵御痛苦，如同醫(yī)學(xué)知識(shí)能防御生理痛苦烂瘫，信仰可以幫助我們抵御精神痛苦媒熊，因此我害怕失去信仰，盡管對(duì)于這些信仰真實(shí)與否坟比，我并沒(méi)有完善的認(rèn)知芦鳍，也沒(méi)有堅(jiān)實(shí)的證據(jù)。

I Am Afraid
My inquiry now is how to be free from the fear of the known, which is the fear of losing my family, my reputation, my character, my bank account, my appetites, and so on. You may say that fear arises from conscience; but your conscience is formed by your conditioning, so conscience is still the result of the known. What do I know? Knowledge is having ideas, having opinions about things, having a sense of continuity as in relation to the known, and no more….
There is fear of pain. Physical pain is a nervous response, but psychological pain arises when I hold on to things that give me satisfaction, for then I am afraid of anyone or anything that may take them away from me. The psychological accumulations prevent psychological pain as long as they are undisturbed; that is, I am a bundle of accumulations, experiences, which prevent any serious form of disturbance—and I do not want to be disturbed. Therefore, I am afraid of anyone who disturbs them. Thus my fear is of the known, I am afraid of the accumulations, physical or psychological, that I have gathered as a means of warding off pain or preventing sorrow…. Knowledge also helps to prevent pain. As medical knowledge helps to prevent physical pain, so beliefs help to prevent psychological pain, and that is why I am afraid of losing my beliefs, though I have no perfect knowledge or concrete proof of the reality of such beliefs.
