The Dude and the Zen Master

â€œ[A] truly incredible book about two friends talking about the good life.â€ â€”Huffington Post

Zen Master Bernie Glassman compares Jeff Bridgesâ€™s iconic role in The Big Lebowski to a Lamed-Vavnik: one of the men in Jewish mysticism who are â€œsimple and unassuming,â€ and â€œso good that on account of them God lets the world go on.â€ Jeff puts it another way. â€œThe wonderful thing about the Dude is that heâ€™d always rather hug it out than slug it out.â€

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, The Dude and the Zen Master captures their freewheeling dialogue and remarkable humanism in a book that reminds us of the importance of doing good in a difficult world.
