Join the "Buddhist Journey" of America's first Buddhist rock band, American Zen. Led by flutist, poet, photographer, The Coyote of San Diego, California.

Raised on the outskirts of the city with rattlesnakes, rabbits, and coyotes in his backyard, our gifted nature boy is led astray to Utah by a blonde girl. Dumped, abandoned, and stranded in Utah, Coyote attempts to build a new life in this Christian frontier.

The song, "Whose Heaven Is This?," details his pleas to the Mormons to stop harrassing and threatening him. In California, his nickname was "Smiley Coyote," but in Utah, Coyote realizes that "Peace Of Mind," is what he desires most.
