This movie has grown and grown from its original tale of Coyote moving to Utah in 1991.

The first rough draft of Kung Fu Cowboy had Coyote on a chopper, battling a rival bike gang...

The homeless vigilante.

Bit by a black widow spider.

Stung by a small tan scorpion.

Closing his Shaolin Kung Fu school.

Not selling enough albums to pay the rent.

Divorcing wife and separating from his two children.

Ex-wife moves in with the mob boss.

Mob boss son has a sadistic drug dealer employee.

Drug dealer kidnaps Coyote's daughter...

-- BUDDHISM NEWS: The Path of Buddha --

Traditional Shaolin Buddhist Kung Fu School

Wow.

My old flags used in my daily classes from 1994 to 2012 are very worn out and ragged.

What should I use now?

How do I decorate my Kung Fu altar?

I have decided NOT to launch the TCY nonprofit education organization in San Diego. My family helped me decide by not helping me at all. Their complete disinterest in my Kung Fu and Tai Chi schools, programs and books... Well, they haven't shown any interest in anything I've ever done.

Buddhism teaches us to be compassionate and seek compassion. Other than my father feeding me and giving me a place on the floor to sleep, San Diego has turned out to be the most unfriendly city I've ever tried to live in. Well, in Utah, there were some real enemies... but here in San Diego, everyone that I thought was a friend--turned out to be an enemy.

Shaolin Chi Mantis or Tai Chi Youth or Buddha Kung Fu make the world a better place. Communities should be fighting and bidding and bribing me to launch a school in their neighborhoods... All of my schools were designed to make the world a better place by making students into better people.
