Zen master Bernie Glassman compares Jeff Bridgess iconic role in The Big Lebowski to a Lamed-Vavnik: one of the men in Jewish mysticism who are simple and unassuming  and so good that  on account of them  God lets the world go on. His buddy Jeff puts it another way. The wonderful thing about the Dude  he says  is that hed always rather hug it out than slug it out.  For more than a decade  Academy Awardwinning actor Jeff Bridges and his buddhist teacher  renowned Roshi Bernie Glassman  have been close friends. Inspiring and often hilarious  The Dude and the Zen Master captures their freewheeling dialogue about life  laughter  and the movies with a charm and bonhomie that never fail to enlighten and entertain. Throughout  their remarkable humanism reminds us of the importance of doing good in a difficult world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44955978989621,"sku":"ByrdShop_0399161643","price":26.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780399161643.jpg?v=1770315504","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-dude-and-the-zen-master","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
