The 8-LEVEL Buddhist journey of “America’s First Buddhist Rock Band™” AMERICAN ZEN:
LEVEL 1 is starting a family in Utah.
LEVEL 2 is battling the Mormons in Utah.
LEVEL 3 is being accepted and loved by everyone… including the Mormons.
LEVEL 4 is the THE Kung Fu Cowboy being a Freemason for 7 years.
LEVEL 5 is becoming a Pipe Carrier “Medicine Man” of the Lakota Sioux.
LEVEL 6 is my “hanblechia” vision quest at the Pineridge Reservation in South Dakota.
LEVEL 7 is being a traveling stagehand and “Philosopher Poet” performing poetry and flute.
LEVEL 8 is about soldiers telling their war stories.
It’s been an amazing adventure unlike any life story you’ve ever heard or known. Impossible for anyone to duplicate, but hopefully inspiring and enlightening. It was for me.
