Daily Taoist 1_10 – Buddha Zhen Finishes Explaining ‘5 SOUL THEORY’ of Richard Del Connor

“You’ve got the WORKER soul. You’ve got the WOMAN soul. That’s most everybody.”

Buddha Zhen jokes about red ink spots on his hands from his red pen. “I love these pens–but they leak really easily…”[Precise V5 Rolling Ball]

Buddha Z wiggles his pinky finger, “WORKER [soul].”

He wiggles his ring finger, “WOMAN [soul].”

He wiggles his middle finger, “WARRIOR [soul].”

He concludes, “W – W – W: Those three go down here at the bottom . You’ve got the 3-W’s: WOMAN, WORKER, WARRIOR. [SOULS will be capitalized from now on.]

“You can put them in any order, BZ continues. “Those three are the reproductive layer. Those are the ones that reproduce.”

“Up on top we have the rulers… I’m still figuring this out. This is a new concept. I just invented this theory a couple years ago.” [Current month is March 2020.]

“It’s been evolving through my poetry. I’m really excited to see my poetry evolve this awareness as I’m complaining about these things, and learning more until I finally figure it out… “Seeing how I got to here.”

Buddha Z holds up two fingers and grabs one.to wiggle. “The two on top. I gave you the MUSICIAN [soul]. The MUSICIAN is all creative thinkers. All the creative thinkers. People used to say, “These are people born with a ‘MUSE’… This is a special soul. The creative soul. I’m one of these people. Look at all my books. 150 books or something, maybe more. A couple thousand songs–all the things I create and do. I’m a creative person. That’s my soul. I can’t turn it off. It’s just who I am.”

Buddha Z laments about the years he was a laborer, not producing or utilizing his creativity. “It’s just a shame to be working full-time when I could be using my creativity. If I’m working I have to stop being creative.” BZ acts and pretends to be hammering nails. “Do that for a whole bunch of hours–my mind can’t be creative. If I start being creative I’ll hurt myself. Chop my finger off or something.

So you’ve gotta be careful. [Focused when working.] That’s why it’s not a good idea to put creative persons in those types of positions. Theyre suppossed to be creative. They’re the dreamers.

My family despises dreamers. In my family there are no artists. I’m the only one. The only one. So they despise me. They actually cannot understand me. Even after sixty years. I’m 66 years old and my parents still don’t accept the fact I’m a musician. They think it’s wrong. They think its a choice.”

Buddha Z points at the camera imitating his scolding parents and brothers, “You decided to do that just to piss us off!”

Buddha Z shrugs. “It’s not true but–” He smiles slightly, “Sheesh. How can a parent be pissed off their child has artistic talent? That’s terrible.”

“They just can’t understand.”

MANAGER and MUSICIAN Souls Are on the Top Row of 5 Souls

“So what’s the fifth one [soul]? We’ve got the three on the bottom and both the two on the top are M’s. So I use MUSICIAN because that covers all the creative people. And MANAGER [soul].”

“Now the MANAGER doesn’t have to be the scientist, or the guy who’s a MUSICIAN… or who’s good at math. That would be the MUSICIAN… The MANAGER is the one that goes for power. They’re not the one whose gonna want to stand in line and want to be on the assembly line. They want to own the company. They’re just not gonna be happy on the assembly line. You cannot bribe them into boredom like that. They just cannot do it. That’s the MANAGER.”

“Those two M’s on top: That’s what we got here in Washington, D.C. But now, we have a whole bunch of WOMEN who have a MANAGER power thing going… They have this emotional desire to be greedy and get what they need for their family. Because that’s normal. That’s the WOMAN’s job to collect everything.”

“The man [WORKER] goes off to work. But the WOMAN’s home all day. Kind of keeping everything intact. She’s not gonna sit there and watch the neighbors walk away with everything.”

Buddha Z pretends to be a WOMAN incorrectly, “”Oh you want the lawn mower? Take it. Okay. Go ahead and take our car.” No! She KEEPS everything intact.”

“The greed factor–“

“Sorry I said that so negatively. (Personal lperspective). But it’s just inherent. It’s the way it is. The greed factor is the WOMAN factor.”

WORKER Souls are the Working Class

“If the WORKER is greedy, “I want a raise! I want…” He’s gotta settle for what he’s got. He cannot be so greedy. I don’t know if they were created. Spiritually shave this of… and shave this… I don’t know. I’m still figuring out the dynamics of each one [soul].”

“On top you have the MANAGER and the MUSICIAN. So that’s what makes me kind of frustrated. I’m an ARTIST first.”

“In the first place I’m a MUSICIAN. Always been a MUSICIAN. I can’t stop being a MUSICIAN. I love being a MUSICIAN. If I could only do one thing and be happy–I’d be a MUSICIAN. I’m a MUSICIAN.”

“Next thing I am is a WARRIOR. I’m brave, fearless. I’m a hero. I like to help people. That’s where my compassion comes from. Weird. I thought It was a WOMAN thing. But it’s not. It’s a WARRIOR. That intention. I couldn’t figure it out. That drive.” Buddha Z gets teary eyed.

“I’m a hunter. I’m out there hunting rabbits at night. I’m out in the canyons by myself. it’s that WARRIOR thing… I don’t hunt anymore… No apologies… There’ve only been a couple times in my life I’ve killed an animal needlessly. And I bear that burden the rest of my life,” he says getting teary-eyed again.

“See. That’s the WARRIOR. The WARRIOR knows right from wrong. Youcan train him. Train him to know right from wrong. I was raised Christian so…, that’s my sense of right and wrong. I was a Catholic. That’s how I know right from wrong. That includes not killing needlessly. The Christians who do aren’t Christians.”

“Can you say them? The Three W’s on the bottom. WORKER, WOMAN and WARIOR. And then the two on top, MUSICAN and MANAGER.”

Buddha Zhen explains 5 SOUL THEORY including WORKER, WOMAN, WARRIOR, MUSICIAN and MANAGER souls.

Daily Taoist 1_09 – Buddha Z Explains Tao #2 of the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu in Tao of Taoism book

Buddha Z repositions the camera and puts a book cover behind him.

He explains he also uploaded his “Eulogy for Oscar” to this Richard Del Connor YouTube Channel. Oscar Noel Barrera was Buddha Z’s Taoist Disciple from 2015 to 2019 when he passed away. BZ says these Daily Taoist videos will be on his Shaolin Chi Mantis YouTube Channel.

Tao #2

The nature of each person is a collection of various characters and identities.
Even the best or most pronounced abilities do not represent anyone as a description.

David Lee Roth on Joe Rogan Experience, 5 Soul Theory of Richard Del Connor, Tao #2 by Lao Tzu

Buddha Z explains that when someone wins an Academy Award for doing something: “Does that really represent them as a person? Is that who they really are? Is that what they do? Is that what they do on a daily basis?”

“What you might be famous for–doesn’t represent you at all. And that’s what drives people over the edge. They become famous for something they’re not. Then they try to be that thing that they’re not.”

Buddha Z pauses, “That never goes well… People’s tragedy does not amuse me.”

The WOMAN Soul [5 Soul Concept]

“And by the way; if you do feel amused by peoples’ tragedies or stubbing their toes: that means there is a WOMAN [soul] in the first position [according to Richard Del Connor 5 Soul Theory].”

“If you say, “I don’t care…” that’s a WOMAN [soul] in the first position.” Buddha Z elaborates on how to determine when a male has a WOMAN [soul] in the 1st position [5 Soul Theory].

David Lee Roth on Joe Rogan Experience PODCAST

Buddha Z talks about Joe Rogan. David Lee Roth was on Joe Rogan Experience show and impressed Buddha Z who says, “I saw him in concert back in ’83.”

“First of all he’s [David Lee Roth] a WARRIOR [soul]… To everybody else: he’s nuts. But he’s not nuts. He’s a WARRIOR,” BZ says. “Adventure and excitement and purpose and drive–he’s driven. He’s a WARRIOR… That’s an amazing thing. That’s why we’re rare. There are only 2 to 4 percent maybe… He’s a WARRIOR [soul] in the first position…

Buddha Z explains his [David Lee Roth] 2nd position is a WOMAN soul. “And a WARRIOR in the 3rd position [5 Soul Theory]. He’s a double WARRIOR! That’s why even Joe Rogan couldn’t get him. Watch the interview with Joe Rogan. It’s a great show!” beams Buddha Z.

“They both say some really good stuff. It’s very illuminating.”

Buddha Z Explains “5 Soul Theory”

“I’ll tell you a little more about the 4 [of 5] souls. The WORKER [soul] can be bribed… Now a WOMAN [soul] can be bribed but only for short term.” He’s [WORKER soul] gonna be a non-complaining cog in the wheel for years and years and years. Real steady. He’s not the person who says, “I don’t care.” Because that’s the person you fire. Somebody who doesn’t care is gonna mess up something–the wheels are gonna jam up, something’s gonna explode–start a fire… because somebody didn’t care. You don’t want those people. That’s not a WORKER [soul]. That’s always the WOMAN [soul]. Half of all women are WORKERS [souls]. That shocked me.”

Buddha Z elaborates about being “raised in the homophobic fifties.”

He tells stories of local wives with swimming pools and “all the booze you can drink.”

“The souls. There are five of them. This is the first time I’ve told them online. This is it. The very first time.” [Ironically he’s cut short and only mentions four of the five souls.]

“After wathing people for 60 years not get me [understand me]..–I got a sense of humor about it. Doen’t mean I like it. But I’ve gotta accept it.”

Then Buddha Z blasted into his “5 Soul Theory” using is other identity of Richard Del Connor ‘for marketing consistency.’

Buddha Z gives a quick overview of The 5 Soul Theory of Richard Del Connor:

1st Soul: WORKER. Half of all women are WORKERS [souls]… Now I understand why women want to work. They’re WORKERS [souls]! Actually half of all women are WORKERS [souls]. Now half of all men are WOMEN [souls].. Those are the emotional ones–like President Trump. Trump’s a WOMAN [soul], McConnell’s a WOMAN [soul], Cruz is a WOMAN [soul]. All these guys are WOMEN [souls]. Half of all men are WOMEN [souls]. And they love power. Power and security. [Sadly, all the Democrats and Republicans who are concerned about the poverty workers being overpaid a little bit = WOMAN [souls].

“The Republican side is almost all WOMEN [souls]. Talk about Matrarchal Society! That’s what we have right now!”

“All the dishonest guys–those are all WOMEN [souls]. That’s not to fault women, Buddha Z reassures. “I’m going to explain the whole thing.” [Eventually.]

The TAO of the SOULS

Tao #2“It’s just that Women [souls] operate under a different–Remember we were talking about ‘The Tao?’ Well, that’s what this about. Each of these [souls] has their own Tao, “explains Buddha Zhen with his fingers stretched out horizontally to represent four souls stacked atop each other.

“They each have their own way of seeing the Tao, A WARRIOR [soul] sees Tao and sees opportunity as totally different circumstances [from other souls]. His view, his perspective, his reaction is different.”

Buddha Zhen calms the audience, “You have to be more open-minded on this. A WOMAN [soul] reacts and sees things in a certain way. That’s a WOMAN’S soul we’re talking about. Not the female mind that’s been conditioned and programmed. We’re talking about the souls here.”

“They’re similar but different. Because they’re like a template. A starting point for everybody.”

Most People are WORKER and WOMAN Souls

“WORKER [soul] and WOMAN [soul]. 80% of all people are these. Like a woman: she’s a WORKER [soul], then a WOMAN [soul], then a WORKER [soul], then a WOMAN [soul.””

He explains how the work force has been destroyed by big business.

“I’ve seen things change and I’ve seen the Union world get crushed.” Buddha Z lowers his head shaking side to side. [Richard Del Connor was an AFL-CIO delegate from the Carpenter’s Union for many years.]

“People are so naive. They’ll believe Fox News. Unions are the best thing to happen to the work force. The BEST thing that’s ever happened to the work force… And OSHA wouldn’t have happened without the Unions.”

“The WORKER soul. He’s the one who says, “I can.” And you can bribe him.”

“The WOMAN [soul] you can bribe her on the short term.”

“The WARRIOR [soul] is totally different. He’s an opportunist. You don’t have to bribe him. If he believes in the cause–he’ll do it. He’ll work harder than the Worker [soul]–for free. But you pay him anyway. You’ve gotta take care of him. Different type of attitude. Different type of loyalty.”

Buddha Zhen explains how he conducted research to find Warrior souls in people. He discovered that loyalty is strongest in WARRIOR souls and can be seen in consistent sports activities into old age.

“I started to tag the warrior and loyalty. You can start to see things tied together. Certain qualities. Remember we’re all actors. All trained to supposedly be able to be anything.”

The MUSICIAN Soul is for ALL CREATIVE ARTISTS “…because I need one word.”

“Now the MUSICIAN [soul] is the most complicated. It’s all artists, mathematicians, scientists, all the creative thinkers. I’m just calling them all MUSICIAN [souls] because I need one word. All the artists, all the creative people, writers… They’re all this one particular type of soul.”

“A lot of the professional artists who may be teaching art many not even have an ARTIST soul [“MUSICIAN”] in them. Actually, they may be forcing it into the 4th position–and that’s good. But they don’t innately have it in the upper three [soul positions]. That’s more significant. That’s where the art comes out of you.”

“This one down here,” Buddha Z says wiggling his lowest finger, “He can do it. He can imitate. Somebody writes a song; they put in on paper. They can train him to move his fingers.”

BZ imitates playing a flute.

“And see the notes and whammo–you’re like a player piano. You can make music. You get better at it and people call you a musician. But you’re not.”

“You’re actually just a WORKER [soul] playing music.”

“That’s what we’ve [modern society] done. Like Mao Tse Tung we’ve thrown all our artists out into the fields– and let them die. Not let them produce their art. That’s why America’s gone downhill this century. There’s no art. Because nobody supported the artists. All the artists didn’t believe they were artists. Nobody supported them so they didn’t even produce.”

“So this century is devoid of art. There hasn’t been any good music… I come from the sixties. There were a lot of interesting musicians and players. I know what it’s like to be in a Renaissance of artistic thinking. You don’t. So you just can’t imagine it. You can’t.”

The TAO of the Artistic Thinking in a Renaissance World

Buddha Z gives a loud laugh of frustration. “It’s hard for me to remember it! Wow! That was so different. That Tao. So, so different! That Tao. So, so different! The way you’d meet people. The way you’d talk to people. I’m not talking about what happens on the television or the radio. It’s everywhere! That artistic temperament. It’s a Tao.”

“Remember, The Tao? That’s what this book is about. The Tao changes. The Tao of this Earth has been changed. We can change it. We influence it… We may be the parasitic curse of this Earth.”

The WOMAN [soul] and the Worker [soul] are on the bottom. Double-U’s. They’re kind of equal. They swap. They’re the husband-wife. They always work together and support each other. Without them, things don’t go on. They are the Yin and Yang. They’re 80% of this planet.”

“What’s the other 20%? That’s what takes us out of the animal sphere. That’s what causes us to rise up from being just animals and reproduce.”

“It’s really the WOMAN [soul], the WORKER [soul], and the WARRIOR [soul] down on the lower level… The WARRIOR [soul] can make a good husband. If he survives. So the WARRIOR [soul] and the WORKER [soul] can be interchangeable to the WOMAN soul.”

“But she’s gonna be more irritated with this guy [WARRIOR soul]. This guy’s the policeman, or maybe the movie maker– He’s not around much so he’ll cheat on her–she’ll cheat on him… It’s not gonna work as well.”

“That’s why these two, the WORKER [soul] and the WOMAN [soul] work out best. That’s the family. That makes the most consistency. Less problematic. That has great balance.”

“When I talk about these things–I’m not trying to fault them. I’m trying to put them in their proper place to appreciate them for what they are. And stop trying to force them to be what they’re not.”

Buddha Zhen says a person untrained in handling a gun is more dangerous than someone trained to clean and shoot a gun. “When someone is handling a gun–you want to know that gun is in good hands.”

Daily Taoist 1_08 – Buddha Zhen Explains Tao #1 of the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu from Tao of Taoism book

“This is number one of the Tao Te Ching. I think my numbers correspond–to what everybody’s doing now. I didn’t have any reason to…” Move any of these numbered wisdoms around. “I was trying to be respectful of Lao Tzu. I think he would like what I have done.”

“Like I said, another Taoist mentor, master actually, read this book and said he liked it so much that he was going to take ideas from it for his book.”

“I think I have grasped Lao Tzu. I really do.”

Tao #1

Nature is the undefinable source of all life.
We attempt to distinguish it as “Chi”
But this represents Nature as much as a leaf represents a tree.

Buddha Z discusses multiverses, and worlds within our world… within a bacteria… within a molecule… “Like Antman… He’s going down into those sub-realities.”

Daily Taoist 1_07 – Buddha Zhen Explains Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, Mother Nature, and Confucius

Buddha Zhen offers an informal overview with his speculations about: “Who was Lao Tzu,” the author of Dao Te Ching or Tao Teh King.

Buddha Zhen seeks to make Taoism understandable for Americans. So he calls Lao Tzu’s only written work, the Book of Changes. Buddha Zhen also uses the American word, “Nature,” with a capital “N” to represent “Mother Nature.” This Mother Nature concept we westerners share is close to the meaning of “The Tao” or “Natural Order.”

“As the accidental founder of Taoism, he has been heralded and Sainted…”

Tao of Social Order is Lao Tzu + Confucius

“I read that he was a contemporary and possibly a friend of Confucius. (If they were people ‘say’ they didn’t get along.) What a great combination they make! Confucius explains the “Tao of Family…” and Lao Tzu teaches the “Tao of Nature,” which is the bigger picture… By combining these two philosophers we created the “Tao of Social Order.”

“This book, Tao of Taoism, is a study of the words of Lao Tzu. My interpretations of several translations of the Tao Te Ching… Incorporating these wisdoms into my Shaolin Chi Mantis Kung Fu schools provided a unique opportunity to improve the lives of my students by helping them put there interpretations into practice and viewing their validity. Watching my students improve their way of thinking also inspired me to make this book public, to benefit as many people I possibly can.

Daily Taoist 1_06 – The Tao poem written by Buddha Zhen in Tao of Taoism book

Buddha Zhen still claims to be rehearsing for his ‘real’ audiobook production.

Buddha Zhen reads his 5-line poem:

The Dao

The Dao is Nature
The Dao is our Path in life.
The DAO is our Way of travelling our path.
The Dao is our Natural way that reality unfold or reacts.
The Dao is different for each of us because each of us have a different AWARENESS of it.

Buddha Z explains the Tao of Naure as, “Like being in a bowl of soup. Nature. Whatever’s happening in that bowl of soup is Nature. That’s the Nature. The Tao is Nature. So whatever is happening around you: That’s Nature.

“Your Tao. Not my Tao. Your Tao becomes that path through that soup. That’s your Tao. So you’ve got whatever’s around you…”

Interesting perspective: “Life is a bowl of soup.”

“When we get smarter people who are not as violent and ‘idiotic’–I’m not sure what the word is: We will hot have any more wars and a lot less suffering.

The Dao is a short poem by Buddha Zhen that provides a comprehensive view of Taoism, The Tao, Nature, and Zen Buddhism.

Daily Taoist 1_05 – Buddha Zhen Reads “Explanation” of Tao of Taoism – Using the Dao Te Ching

Buddha Z reads “Explanation” page of his book. It starts with an explanation of, “This ebook version of Tao of Taoism uses both “Tao”, which is Cantonese, and also, “Dao,” which is the current Mandarin Chinese language of China. They are the same word with the same meaning,” (“Tao and Dao”).

“Self-discovery is the last frontier for the smartest of men and women.. This book is a journey down your own very unique “Last Frontier.””

“How much time do you spend exploring your inner you?”

“Why are you you?”

“What makes you you?”

“I wrote this book for her [his daughter]. It’s called Act Zen to Be Zen.

“It’s about Zen Buddhism teaching you how to find yourself–And then you can reshape yourself into other people.”

“Zen Buddhism is about understanding other people from as many perspectives as possible. And view yourself from as many perspectives as possible.”

Buddha Z talks about his poetry class in San Diego State University.

Buddha Zhen talks about how Lao Tzu may not be translated accurately by anyone because they may not understand the colloquial meanings of his statements 2,200 years ago.

Buddha Zhen also explains how only the disciples of Bodhidharma can perform the One-handed Bow of the Shaolin Temple because it signifies the relationship between the FIRST disciple of Bodhidharma and of those who continue this lineage of disciples of Buddhism to the first disciple, Hui Ke. If you aren’t ready to teach Shaolin Kung Fu or you don’t belong to a Shaolin master… you should not deceive people with this spiritual gesture.

Who is a Real Zen Buddhist?

“So what happened was–his Disciple Hui Ke–he tricked him. He tricked Bodhidharma to become the first Shaolin Disciple… He cut his arm. He went to his [Bodhidharma’s] cave and outside the cave he cut his arm and it bled into the snow. And he said, “Look, it’s raining red–in the snow. So Bodhidharm said, “Alright–you win.””

Buddha Z gets a little teary eyed. “So that’s what we’re doing. We’re honoring his sacrifice.” Buddha Z pauses. “I got a little choked up there.”

He continues, “I originally wrote this book for myself, then realized it was useful for other people. Then I rewrote it again when I created my Shaolin Chi Mantis schools in 1993 into a student manual for psychoanalyzing yourself, to help students develop a dialogue with their own inner minds.”

5 Soul Theory of Richard Del Connor

“It’s interesting I put that in the plural. It’s only in the last two years I discovered that we actually are four… souls is what I’m calling theem. Four different identities that all stack and work together.”

Buddha Z elaborates on his 5 SOUL THEORY. “You can only have four of them. Most people only have two.”

Buddha Zhen holds the book up to camera to show his Chinese ‘chop’ which is the red ‘dragon blood’ stamp on the page with his Chinese name. He explains which characters represent:

  • Zhen: family name = “Truth”
  • Shen: means “Spirit” or “Spiritual” but not ‘ghost’
  • Lang: “Wolf” (Master Chen explained to Richard Del Connor, “We don’t have Coyotes in China–only wolves.”)

Spirit Wolf of Truth = Buddha Z’s Buddhist name: Shen-Lang Zhen.

Buddha Z the Daily Taoist

Daily Taoist 1_04 – Buddha Z Explains History of Zen Buddhism

Intro Song: “In the Pool of Enlightenment” by Buddha Zhen,
on TAI CHI MAGIC 1 album, on Shaolin Records

Buddha Z explains how his bedroom recording studio is set up for a professional audiobook recording of TAO OF TAOISM. Buddha Z is Buddha Zhen is Zhen Shen-Lang is Richard Del Connor.

Buddha Z specifies what “Original Buddhism” is — and how other types of Buddhism developed in other countries like Tibet and Japan.

“Bigger Wheel Buddhism…” “The book has the information… but if you keep trying to hammer people into the shape of that book–then you’re using religion to conain people instead of free them.”

“Everybody is a buddha who gets it.”

“What is the formula to create a Buddha? That’s all if is. The secret to bea Buddha is to know what the 4 Noble Truths are, and then live a life accordingly, and you’re a Buddha. That’s it,” he shrugs.

“Bodhidharma seems like me… I don’t know if he was musician… he created Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism came from the Shalin Temple… He was also a martial artist so he created Shaolin Kung Fu… Fom 600 AD to 1600 AD everyone who did Shaolin Kung Fu was a Shaolin Buddhist. That’s it. They were Zen Zen Buddhists. They were all these Zen Buddhist doing Shaolin Kung Fu for a thousand years.”

Kung Fu without Zen Buddhism is Bodies without Minds

“Then the public said, “We like those dances but we don’t want the Buddhism. So they stripped off the Buddhism…”

“They stripped off the Qigong. They stripped off the advanced spiritual training. And they said, “Just show me how to hurt someone.” Buddha Z sad sighs and concludes, “That’s what Shaolin Kung Fu became.”

“So that’s why I’m glad to revive it,” Buddha Zhen bounces back with a smile. “It’s a way of life. Not a way to hurt people.”

“That’s not what people want to hear,” laments BZ. He goes on to compare modern civilization to the bloodthirsty Roman age of Nero.

Buddha Zhen says he wants to, “get all of this out of this out of my system so when I record the audiobook–I won’t jabber so much.”

Buddha Zhen Shen-Lang “Spirit Wolf of Truth” continues with episode #2 of THE DAILY TAOIST series he is recording for his BUDDHA Z Instagram/IGTV channel.

Although Buddha Z thinks he is just rehearsing this book reading for his upcoming professional audiobook recording of his book, TAO OF TAOISM, he will continue rehearsing for a total of 69 videos that include every page of the book over the next week.

These videos are all shot at 4K 24fps on his new iPhone 11 Pro Max with Filmic Pro as the camera app. The purple Chinese silk tapestry on his wall was a gift from his Shaolin Chi Mantis students in Salt Laket City, Utah when he taught there in the 1990s. It was used for graduation ceremonies.

Free Kung Fu at ShaolinKungFuBeginner.com

Buddha Z announces his new website “launching this Wednesday” (March 2020) www.ShaolinKungFuBeginner.com This website was created to provide FREE KUNG FU for people who would never get a chance to participate in a traditional Shaolin Kung Fu class. Buddha Z explains how these five free Kung Fu classes will also interest people into joining “the real school” at www.ShaolinInteractive.com. Buddha Z explains his Shaolin Kung Fu school requires a Buddhist head-shaving-naming ceremony to continue in his Shaolin Chi Mantis INTERMEDIATE program.

Scaring People Away with Rules

Buddha Z laughs and says he wants to scare people away with the head shaving ceremony. He explains he has two other schools students can join without becoming Zen Buddhists.

Daily Taoist 1_01 – Buddha Zhen Reads TAO OF TAOISM

The Daily Taoist series begins with this EPISODE #1. Buddha Zhen is also Richard Del Connor, a record producer and founder of Shaolin Records and Shaolin Pictures. Richard has spent the last six years of homeless life as a Shaolin monk teaching traditional Northern Shaolin Kung Fu from the original Buddhist temple on Mr. Songshan in China. From 2013 to 2019 Buddha Zhen taught Yang Tai Chi Chuan and his Shaolin Chi Mantis Traditional Buddhist Kung Fu, Taoist Tai Chi Chuan & Confucian Strategy at North hollywood Park. The public library there is where he published several books including the TAO OF TAOISM.

TAO OF TAOISM available at Shaolin Records.

The Tao of Taoism EBOOK is also available from Amazon.com
Tao of Taoism book

This EBOOK of Tai Chi Beginner may be removed from Amazon.com also. It does not appear to ranking well because it was created as a STUDENT MANUAL while learning Tai Chi Chuan. Perhaps I will sell the PAPERBACK when I complete the original edition with 444 photos.

This book, Tao of Taoism, was written while Richard Del Connor was at UCLA film school in 1985. Richard wrote this book for himself so he could utlize the wisdom of Lao Tzu’s book Tao Te Ching, or Book of Changes. That book is the foundation of the Taoist religion. It’s actually a philosophy book but the Chinese added some Ghosts and Gods to make it more exciting.

In 1993 Richard was teaching Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi Chuan classes in a prison, several rehabs, and a couple churches. He created two books for his students:

  • Tai Chi Beginner – The Yang Tai Chi Chuan of Shaolin Chi Mantis
  • Taoism – Coming to Terms (With added question and fill-in blanks for his students.)

This is episode one, before Buddha Z realized he was creating a series or show…

Tao of Taoism BOOK Blurb from Amazon

The Dao Te Ching (Tao Teh King, Dao De Qing…) by Lao Tzu, has inspired oriental readers for over 2,000 years to become better people, get along with other people, and coexist with Nature in harmony.

Buddha Zhen Shen-Lang, (Richard Del Connor), has adapted these ancient teachings and wisdoms into useful lessons for his Kung Fu and Tai Chi students of Shaolin Chi Mantis Traditional Buddhist Gongfu and Taijiquan, Buddha Kung Fu schools, and the nonprofit education organization, Tai Chi Youth.

Since 1993, Buddha Zhen has seen his students improve their lives and ways of living through the questions he formulated based upon this ancient book by the sage, Lao Tzu (Lao Tzi…).

Now Buddha Zhen has reduced the size of the book, Tao of Daoism, (formerly titled: The Dao – Coming To Terms), so that students and a worldwide audience can access these teachings on smaller Ebook reading devices.

Learn to be in harmony with your past.
Learn to be in harmony with your present.
Learn to be in harmony with your future.
Learn to be in harmony with other people.
Learn to be in harmony with your self.
Learn to be in harmony with your family.
Learn to be in harmony with society.
And of course, learn to be in harmony with Nature.

Tao of Taoism transforms the thoughts and wisdoms of Lao Tzu into questions of self-discovery that each reader can pursue and ponder for their own self-development, enlightenment, and lifestyle improvement. Write down the answers to these questions to further illuminate yourself and focus your personal thoughts and self-awareness.
