Buddha Vacana ~ Uposatha Day

75. If you take refuge in the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha, no fear or trembling will ever arise.

Samyutta Nikaya I.220

On this uposatha day I have stumbled into this verse and am both puzzled and intrigued. I have taken refuge but have yet been assailed by fear so I must not be understanding this as intended by the Lord. May we all seek to learn the Dhamma of our hearts and wipe away the grime of delusion.
