time that
the pebbles
are being
counted out, be not
frightened,
nor terrified;
tell no lies;
and fear not the Lord of Death.
The body being a mental body is incapable of dying even though beheaded and quartered. In reality, thy body is the nature of voidness; thou needst not be afraid.
. . . Avoid awe and terror.
From the Evans-Wentz translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead
