Fifth, "recollection of renunciation": the practitioner should recollect that renunciation is of two kinds: first, renunciation through giving; second, renunciation of all afflictions. Renunciation through giving is of two kinds: first, renouncing material wealth; second, renouncing the Dharma. Both of these two kinds of renunciation are called renunciation, and they are the root of all wholesome dharmas. The practitioner reflects to himself: "Since having this body, I also have possessed such merit of renunciation and giving; of what should I be afraid?" By single-mindedly recollecting this, fear is immediately eliminated.
