Likewise, is The Big Lebowski based on a true story?
The movie's plot is almost entirely fiction. Rather than the story being based on a person's life, the Coen brothers instead chose to base only their protagonist, Jeffrey Lebowski (Jeff Bridges), on a real person. Jeff Dowd (aka The Dude), who they considered to be quite the character.
Subsequently, question is, how old was the Big Lebowski? The Big Lebowski is a whopping 23 years old.
In respect to this, who is the old man in the Big Lebowski?
The Dude sees him in the bar of the bowling alley where he talks to him twice. He also brings the movie to a close, by talking to the camera about The Dude's story.

What is the meaning of the Dude abides?
The dude abides, in this context, means the Dude obeys - in this case, the Dude will take it easy. He is following the strangers wishes, granting his request.
