Only to the extent that man exposes himself over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible arise within him. In this lies the dignity of daring.
Karlfried Graf Dürckheim (1896–1988) was a German psychotherapist and Zen Master. Although he was introduced to Zen Buddhism early, he attributed the start of his teaching to a lengthy imprisonment in Japan after World War II. He continued to extol Eastern philosophies and Buddhism until his death in 1988.
