The Dude and the Zen Master

The Dude and the Zen Master

<b>The perfect gift for fans of The Big Lebowski, Jeff Bridges's "The Dude", and anyone who could use more Zen in their lives.</b><br><br>Zen Master Bernie Glassman compares Jeff Bridges€s iconic role in The Big Lebowski to a Lamed-Vavnik: one of the men in Jewish mysticism who are €œsimple and unassuming,€ and €œso good that on account of them God lets the world go on.€ Jeff puts it another way. €œThe wonderful thing about the Dude is that he€d always rather hug it out than slug it out.€<br><br>For more than a decade, Academy Award-winning actor Jeff Bridges and his Buddhist teacher, renowned Roshi Bernie Glassman, have been close friends. Inspiring and often hilarious, <i>The Dude and the Zen Master </i>captures their freewheeling dialogue and remarkable humanism in a book that reminds us of the importance of doing good in a difficult world.
