- Well crafted translation and discussion combination for modern relevance.
Contains both Daoist and Dudeist verses.
Kudos to the author for the interpritive sections. I like how the use of references empowers the explanatory sections to speak to current paradigm.
Recommended. - The Dude De Ching, by Oliver Benjamin, is a remarkable work. Benjamin has rendered erstwhile esoteric concepts accessible to all. He presents the Tao on three levels The Dude, The Tao, and Oliver Benjamin. Even if you've never watched the movie The Big Lebowski, The Dude will enlighten you. Even if you've not read the Toa Te Ching, you will see that this work stands on its own. Benjamin intertwines popular culture and ancient wisdom to brilliant effect. His commentary essays are wide ranging and informative, tying it all together like the right rug will do for a room.
- For fans of The Big Lebowski who want a deeper and more philosophical view of The Meaning of the Dude. It’s not just about bowling, rugs, and White Russians. Plus for those who like the Tao te Ching. This book provides the Tao alongside the Dudeist version of the same verses. However, there is real power and good sense to be found in the Notes for each verse. For those looking for a lifestyle that goes with the flow, you can’t beat this guide. Lots of F words (like the movie) might be offputting to delicate sensibilities. Disclosure I’m an ordained Dudeist Priest so I dig this stuff.
- This book really ties the Dudeist & Taoist room together, especially for our modern time.
It will guide the casual Lebowski fan to the deeper Dude within. A much deeper read than I expected, yet full of sharp wit and humor (lest we get very un-dude, dude).
Oliver Benjamin is a gifted writer with a broad knowledge of spiritual wisdom.
A poignant quote from the book
"By acting as an example of Taoist virtue, the Dude reminds us that even though religions may no longer make sense of the world and that modern academia suggests that there is no universal truth, perhaps there is still an ethical bedrock upon which we can rest our bones..." - This edition is a considerable improvement from the first, and is a major addition to the Dudeist literature. The essays that Oliver wrote for each verse are simple but deep, wide ranging and learned but also funny and written with a light touch. Perhaps because the Daoist angle is my preferred one for understanding Dudeism, I would prefer/recommend this book even above The Abide Guide. It's definitely something you'll come back to repeatedly to help abide...take it easy Dudes
- I don't necessarily agree with the pairings of Dudeism koans with the Tao, but it is entertaining and thought-provoking. Not only that, it contains the Tao, though now I am hungry to see other translations and transliterations.
- Super awesome insight into this amazing system of belief. Give it a go!
Or don't.
EIther way, live an awesome life, Dude. ) - Great book
