Dongshan asked a monk, "What’s the most painful thing in this world?" The monk said, "Hell is the most painful." Dongshan said, "Not so. If you wear monk’s robes, and underneath, you have not clarified the great matter, that’s the most painful thing." Essential Zen

If you fear nothing, you have nothing to fear.
If you pitch well, you also have nothing to fear.
