The Dudeism Forum

Bowling is a Zen sport. Just like golf, chess, martial arts and shuffle board.

Just as the Masters of the East have known throughout history, that Zen practice is the art of peace and path to enlightenment. The Dude knows that to bowl is the true meaning of life and path to eternal dudeness.

there's not a literal connection

Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!...

Bowling is pure. It is an end unto it's self.
Other sports like say golf come with some indication of sophistication.
Other sports bring hints of adventurism and daring, feats of strength etc.

Bowling is selfless. No one would adopt bowling as a social accessory.
It's nothing to be proud of. It is just what it is. Like the Dude.
