How does a new fan of American Zen catch up with the The Coyote?
Coyote's been moving up a spiritual ladder since releasing LEVEL 1 = PEACE OF MIND in 2005.
Coyote's been moving up the poetry ladder also with the release of AUTUMN FLAVOURS poetry book. Autumn Flavours is the first of a 4-part book series that portrays the evolution of every human in "Seasons of Fours."
Coyote moved up to the 2nd Level of Shaolin Zen spirituality when he released LEVEL 2 = CHRIST KILLER in 2007.
Coyote revealed how his bands and rock groups operated by publishing his poetry book, UTAH PHASE 1. This poetry book contains the lyric sheets used by Coyote and his bandmates to perform and record the music of American Zen.
At this time, Coyote went through a "mental breakdown" and saw a shrink. The shrink sucked. Coyote realized that poetry and music could heal him better than a "middleclass b_____."
Coyote had already created a website for his actress daughter, www.actZEN.com The purpose of this website was originally to help his daughter, Caitlin O'Connor, to become a better actress. The website requires the person to psychoanalyze their own mind and figure out why they are who they are--so they can decide who they are. The website worked. Coyote performed all the steps and instructions of actZEN.com on his podcast radio show, CoyoteRadio.NET These LEVEL 2 podcasts have Coyote "dissecting his brain..."
Then in 2008, The Coyote emerged as THE HIPPY COYOTE, and Richard O'Connor went back to being RICHARD DEL CONNOR. Another transformation resulting from Coyote's use of the actZEN.com website was a Buddhist spiritual upgrade, transforming him from Master Zhen to BUDDHA ZHEN.
Based upon his psychedelic lifestyle in the flower power years of 1968-1970, Coyote wrote his first novel, SID'S PLACE, about Tom Calder, a drug runner in 1969 San Diego, California.

About American Zen
American Zen is The Hippy Coyote who fronts the band on flute and electric guitar. Coyote is the "Kung Fu Cowboy" who studies Shaolin Kung Fu, and with his recent record, LEVEL 4 = Kung Fu Cowboy PART 2 has become the world's most astounding musician playing drums, electric bass, slide guitars, electric guitars, flute, harmonica, and a variety of other instruments and percussion. Coyote no longer performs or records acoustic guitar, since losing his Alvarez 12-string on December 3, 2009. However, with hundreds of songs recorded with his acoustic guitar since 1974, Coyote says he prefers his Marshall amplifier and wah-wah pedal now. All songs, lyrics, and poetry are composed by The Hippy Coyote, who has also written the novel, SID'S PLACE, and created the websites for each LEVEL of American Zen's ascent toward Heaven on their Zen Buddhist journey to Nirvana.

About Buddha Zhen
Zhen Shen-Lang "Truth Spirit-Wolf" or Spirit Wolf of Truth (The Chinese always put last name first.)
Buddha Zhen was recognized for his teaching skills while an Advanced Student of Tai Mantis Federation in early 1980s. However, Buddha Zhen, then known as Richard O'Connor, even passed up opportunities to perform with David Carradine, only considering his Shaolin Kung Fu to be a hobby. After moving to Utah in 1991, unable to find work in the record business or movie business, Kung Fu and Tai Chi became the only way for Buddha Zhen to support himself in Utah while being a Mr. Mom to two kids. Shaolin Chi Mantis was founded in 1992 and in 1996 Master Zhen created the Tai Chi Youth nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity organization for troubled youth. Buddha Zhen founded the Buddha Kung Fu school in 2008 which includes the Buddha Tai Chi, Shaolin Kids , and 12 Step 12 Week Kung Fu Bootcamp programs.
