In the parlance of our times, Oscar-winning actor Jeff Bridges and Zen teacher Bernie Glassman had a bromance. A slice of their freewheeling exchange was published in book form as The Dude and the Zen Master and the successful bidder for this item will receive one hardcopy signed edition featuring both signatures.

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 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 he’d always rather hug it out than slug it out.

Lion's Roar's Andrea Miller reported on the book's release when it came out.
