Jeff Bridges is one of the world's most popular actors and his unforgettable performance as The Dude in Coen Brothers film, The Big Lebowski, made him a cult hero. His remarkable career as an actor, performer and songwriter has brought him an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice award. Away from the spotlight, Bridges is a dedicated practitioner of Zen Buddhism and for more than a decade has been close friends with Zen leader Bernie Glassman. It is Glassman who has helped guide Bridges' lessons on the path to enlightenment and the two have spent many hours discussing life, love, the movies, creativity, happiness and death. With wit, charm and profound insight, Bridges and Glassman discover the Zen in iconic scenes and lines from The Big Lebowski. With honesty and humour, Bridges explores how his Zen practice and his life experience inform one another as he discusses his loving relationship with his parents, his marriage, his highly successful career and his warm connection with his fans.
In "Infinite Circle, "one of America's most distinctive Zen
teachers takes a back-to-basics approach to Zen. Glassman
illuminates three key teachings of Zen Buddhism, offering
line-by-line commentary in clear, direct language: His commentaries are based on workshops he gave as Abbot of the Zen Community of New York, and they contain within them the principles that became the foundation for the Greyston Mandala of community development organizations and the Zen Peacemaker Order.
Dennis Genpo Merzel Roshi, one of the most highly regarded American
Zen teachers, demystifies the experience of enlightenment, teaching
that it is none other than the awakening to our true nature, which
is ever present and inherent in all of us. Through the practice of
meditation, one is able to turn the light of inquiry inward and
discover this for oneself. Genpo Roshi lays out this journey of
discovery for us-from the first tentative glimpses of Buddha Mind
to the full flowering of realized life.
