{"product_id":"the-dude-and-the-zen-master","title":"The Dude and the Zen Master","description":"The perfect gift for fans of The Big Lebowski, Jeff Bridges's \"The Dude\", and anyone who could use more Zen in their lives.\n\nZen 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 “simple and unassuming,” and “so good that on account of them God lets the world go on.” Jeff puts it another way. “The wonderful thing about the Dude is that he’d always rather hug it out than slug it out.”\n\nFor 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0142180521\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0142180521.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bridges, Jeff|Glassman, Bernie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
