Zen master Bernie Glassman compares Jeff Bridgesβs iconic role in TheBig Lebowski to a Lamed-Vavnik: one of the men in Jewish mysticism who βare simple and unassuming, and so good that, on account of them, God lets the world go on.β His buddy Jeff puts it another way. The wonderful thing about the Dude, he says, is that heβd always rather hug it out than slug it out.
For more than a decade, Academy Awardβwinning 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.
