Author: The Hippy Coyote Description: 2007 to 2012. Although Shaolin Records and Richard Del Connor were one of the first successful podcast shows ever launched with hundreds of thousands of views... they all ended in 2012 when Richard became homeless in Las Vegas. Here they are: All the original podcast shows. Poverty pulled the plug on these podcasts but these podcasts are the 'back story' or 'behind-the-scenes' of the making and release of the American Zen albums: The album TAI CHI MAGIC 1 by Buddha Zhen was released on CD in 2009, but this was actually the American Zen LEVEL 6 album that was never started.

The AntiChrist |

Author: Richard Del Connor Description: I wrote this book prior to writing the History of Zen from A to Z. This book is based upon my own biblical theological knowledge combined with my own personal history. My life is metaphorically and symbolically matched up with this information to create a different glimpse of my life. I was depressed, lonely, despondent, heartbroken, frustrated, and stressed about what to do with my life--having nowhere to go at that time as the family was breaking up after 22 years. The book, History of Zen from A to Z, provided me new information about these biblical stories from a different perspective provided by Archangel Saten. (He told me to spell his name differently since he was not the true author of the works attributed to "Satan," which were written by mortals--not him.) This new information made some of my prior knowledge obsolete, or different. Rather than rewrite this book to match up with my new understandings of Heaven, Hell, Adam, Eve, and the Garden Of Eden, I will leave this book, The AntiChrist, the way it was originally written. |

Autumn Flavours |
|
Author: The Hippy Coyote Description: Coyote graduated High School in St. John's, Newfoundland. There, on that remote arctic island, they spell and speak the olde British tongue. Flavors is spelled, "flavours." Colors is spelled, "colours..." It's how he wrote it when he wrote it. We modernized the name of the book for the website domain name of: Coyote said there are a lot of writings in this book that surprised him. "I've changed a lot since my teenage years," Coyote professes. This is Coyote's first book of poetry and contains several poems from his San Diego State College poetry classes. This is the 'dark' period of Coyote's life, so the poetry is darkly experimental. |

Masonic Kung Fu - |

Author: The Hippy Coyote Description: For decades, Buddha Zhen has been saying to his students and friends, "I want to make a movie about Kung Fu that will inspire Americans to understand Chinese martial arts... and to pursue those heroic values in their own lives." This may be the story he was waiting for -- written after accidentally stumbling onto the secrets of Freemasonry, cleverly encoded in a popular Kung Fu form, "Lian Bu," or "Ling Po," taught to him by two famous Chinese Kung Fu masters, Dr. Kam Yuen of the Tai Mantis Federation and Grandmaster Wong Jack Man of the Jing Mo Association. Richard researched the history of this Kung Fu Form and discovered it was created by a Chinese martial artist who added it to the Chinese government Jing Mo school in 1938, as the Japanese were invading China. Richard will continue to research this Kung Fu and has been assured the assistance of the Chinese Free & Accepted Masons. Impatient for enough research to write the true story of this Masonic Kung Fu, Richard Del Connor decided to write this novel during his research of the British Freemasons, probably responsible for transmitting these "Masonic Secrets" to a Chinese Kung Fu master. In 1938, Chinese were not allowed to submit applications to become Freemasons. So here it is: Chinese teenage heroes, a British Freemason, and an invading army of Japanese infantry. Based upon true incidents and the Masonic Kung Fu dance discovered by Richard Del Connor on June 9, 2009 after he became a 3rd Degree Master Mason. All 3 Masonic Kung Fu books take place in China:

Author: The Hippy Coyote Description: Richard's van was involved in many of these sexual journeys. "Despite all the MANY places I've had sex... I've still not done it outdoors. Every time a girlfriend finds out about this vacancy in my Sexual Monopoly Game Board, they get all excited to... but somehow-- not yet. But that's not the point of this book, or my own life of conquest. It's not how much, or how weird, or how intense, but how to fit into each person's sexual orientation. I've always been the chameleon who chooses from the existing menu more than imposing my own rules. (The opposite of my Kung Fu life where I run my school like the General of an army!) This poetry doesn't seem as nasty to me now as it did in the 1970s." |

Summer Forevers |

Download NOW |
Author: The Hippy Coyote Description: Richard Del Connor lived in Santa Monica and Venice Beach while writing this book about an endless Summer. Unfortunately, it wasn't forever... but this book is. This poetic peek at our philosopher pup's pleasurable and contended life also portrays his warrior spirit brewing within. His Kung Fu journey would be launched in 1980 with his new-old name of "Richard O'Connor." This season of Summer lasted about four years until 1984, when he transformed into "The Coyote" while performing his new rock opera, Coyote In A Graveyard. This fourth poetry book also depicts Richard's growth into manhood. Lacking a father or mentor guide, this book seeks to define his warrior spirit based upon biblical heroes, legendary heroes like Robin Hood, and fictional heroes such as James Bond 007. |

Utah - Phase 1 |
|

Author: The Hippy Coyote Description: The lyrics to most of Coyote's songs are poetry worth reading without the music. This poetry book, Utah - Phase 1, was the precursor of what would become the 8 Levels of American Zen's Buddhist Journey. This is a scanned copy of Coyote's ORIGINAL draft with his own editorial notes about each poem handwritten on the bottom of each page. "A Long Way Home" depicts Coyote's desire to return to California. "Free The Change" criticizes the Mormon robotic mind. "Simple Lady" finds Coyote remembering peaceful moments in his life to escape his discomforts. "All Screwed Up" is the story of his girlfriend's family. "Peace Of Mind #2" is Coyote hitchhiking near the beach of San DIego on a trip back home, for the burial of his black sheep cousin. "I come from poverty. My parents and relatives didn't have any money to help me move back to California. It turned out to be my last visit to my homeland. After returning home, my mother sent me a nasty letter saying she had removed me from her will..." |
