I believe that the Path of Dudeism is not just a Religion and a Philosophy, but that it is also a Way of Life. Your life will be more at Peace, through following the Path of Dudeism.
You will view the world through Clearer and Calmer eyes than you have ever done before. When you deal with people at work and through out other aspects of your life you will be able to deal with them with Kindness, Compassion, Tolerance, Wisdom and a Peaceful Calm Abiding. Being a Dudeist will make you a better person, and in doing so you can help to make the world a better place to live for us all.

I have only been abiding as a Dudeist Priest for a few weeks now and already my life is improving. I am seeing things that I should of seen all along if it wasn't for my previously uptight thinking. I'm not just following the path of Dudeism, I'm also following the path I have followed when I was younger but strayed away from in college, to do what I love, the way I want to do it. Dudeism really changed my life as I'm sure it did for all you other dudes out there. The Dude Abides!

I think we all start out following the Dude Way because it's a natural way to be but then society fucks us up as we grow older. We are never taught that the Dude Way is the right way and so we end up on the wrong path at some point. For us Dudeists, we found the right path once again while others may have not. But hey, that's just like, uh, my opinion man.

Again I have to disagree.

Many of us are drawn here because this is how we live our lives.

Please don't try to force yourselves to change your lives to fit some abstract "Dude" idea.

Being "Dudeist" shouldn't change your life, it's only a word.

Following the Taoist idea, everyone is Dudeist, they just need to relax and realise the fact.

Again please stop trying to be the Dude and just get on with just being.

Good advice, M5, don't TRY (self defeating) to be a dude, just let your inner dude out to roll.

Yes, if you try to change yourself in an attempt to be more Dude-like, it becomes an attachment, and attachment can lead to all sorts of ugly things. We all have the Dude within us. Just relax and abide, and it will come through on it's own.

I too was following the path in my twenties. Then I got distracted by the need to provide for a family. Now that they're nearly grown up, and with the help of the Church of the Latter-Day Dude, I'm once again embracing  my dudeness.

I wonder how much of a common story this is?

I dig your style man. Same here.
