Buddha Z reads his poem, "Love Is," to piss off his fellow poets who always write "Love..." poems.  

I got frustrated hearing these "Love is love is love is love..." poems at the many poetry readings I also read at.  Some people are so locked into their narrow-minded perspectives... that I presume it's my duty to snap them out of their ignorance.  

That's what I like about my "Buddha Z" image.  I'm actually Buddha Zhen (Zhen Shen-Lang "Spirit Wolf of Truth") who teaches Shaolin Kung Fu, Yang Tai Chi Chuan and Zen Buddhism to hundreds of students.  As Buddha Zhen I am patient and tolerant as I guide people to learn Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi Chuan.

As "Buddha Z" I don't have to wear my Kung Fu and Taoist robes.  I'm just a sassy Buddha.  Sometimes it's more enjoyable to tell people what I think they need to hear without being so polite.

After a couple years of poetry readings as, "Richard Del Connor -- Philosopher Poet," I was beginning my new poetry career as Buddha Z.  Then I moved to Mt. Olympus and the Covid lockdown... So Buddha Z barely got started as a public poet.

My goal as Buddha Z is to promote my 8-book series I've just started, 4 Noble Truths Explained -- by Buddha Z.

I've got one book already published at Amazon.com Supersoul 13 -- Discovering the Soul of God.  This is a great book to introduce Americans to Hindu philosophy and the book, Bhagavad Gita, about Krishna.  I received permission to publish excerpts of the book, Bhagavad Gita, and comment on them as they inspired me and improved my life.  The SUPERSOUL THEORY is that every person has TWO SOULS.  One soul belongs to God and the other to the person.  

Check out the paperback book: Supersoul 13 at Amazon.com
