You may not be surprised to learn that actor Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski, TRON Legacy) has a Buddhism teacher, a man by the name of Bernie Glassman.

Together, they have written a book called The Dude and the Zen Master, and it’s goal is just that: Zen, man. Zen.

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 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.

The book is filled with musings about movies, life, and achieving inner peace.
