Kung Fu Bootcamp Kicks Butt

Shaolin Zen is the sect of Chinese Chan Buddhism created by Richard Del Connor "Buddha Zhen" in 1994.
Due to conflicts with the Church of Latter Day Saints ("Mormons") of Salt Lake City,
Buddha Zhen extracted the Zen Buddhism lessons from his Shaolin Chi Mantis Buddhist Gongfu school
and created the Shaolin Zen religion.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Crescenta Valley Park, 3904 Dunsmore Ave, La Crescenta, California 910xx – August 4, 2010:
Shaolin Zen, "An American sect of Chinese Chan Buddhism™," has been located in Los Angeles, California since January 2000 and teaching authorized classes hosted by L.A. Parks and Recreation since 2005. Shaolin Zen was founded by Buddha Zhen (Richard Del Connor) in Salt Lake City, Utah, 1994, but had existed within Shaolin Chi Mantis Buddhist Gongfu, (also founded by Richard Del Connor), since 1986 when Richard began teaching his interns of Shaolin Records.

Shaolin Zen Not Allowed to Pray at Fair

Buddha Kung Fu was performing at the annual La Crescenta County Fair. Having performed the event for several years, the promoters were familiar with the spirituality and integrity of its founder, Richard Del Connor whose Chinese name is Shen-Lang Zhen which translates to Spirit Wolf of Truth. The head promoter Leslie, asked Buddha Zhen to be the opening Master of Ceremonies for the event.

Buddha Zhen had been promoting Tai Chi Push Hands tournaments and Kung Fu competitions at Crescenta Valley Park. In the tradition of Chinese martial arts, events are often opened with a prayer or blessing. As Buddha Zhen welcomed all the attendees and addressed all the vendors of the fair, "...and will now open this fair with a prayer."

Buddha Zhen noticed Leslie in a panicked expression shaking her head sideways. Surprised, but professional, Buddha Zhen diverted this introduction to a, "I want to wish everyone a nice, beautiful and successful day." BZ noticed Leslie was contented relaxed.

Later, Buddha Zhen spoke with promoter Leslie and discovered that it wasn't the competition between the churches and religions that was her concern, it was the atheists she was concerned about. So, public events are allowed to open with prayers any more.

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.
