12 Laws of Life: To Achieve Your Full Capability

By Richard Del Connor, Buddha Zhen, Buddha Z

Richard read the book by Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life, and realized this inspirational book from a psychologist was missing a healthy and heroic Shaolin Kung Fu lifestyle. Jordan wasn’t familiar with an athletic eating, exercising, patriarchal lifestyle. So Richard Del Connor is providing this warrior information writing this book, 12 Laws of Life.

Richard was exiled to Newfoundland at age 16 for his LSD lifestyle from San Diego, California in 1970. He learned to hunt, fish, and survive in the wilderness. He solo hitchhiked across Canada several times. Then he graduated the 4-year apprentice program of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters to become a Journeyman Carpenter in 1978. He was a musician recording with his own bands, worked with Frank Zappa, and performed with dozens of Los Angeles rock groups as a session bassist. He graduated the UCLA Motion Picture Program in 1987 as a professional concert photographer in a cowboy hat publishing his “Rocktography by Coyote” as a photojournalist and designed recording studios for MCA, RCA, Village Recorder, Soundlabs, and worked movie special EFX, Apogee commercials, Cinesong music videos, and MTV as a lighting director.

Then he decided to establish his Shaolin Records independent record label while being a Mr. Mom and establishing his Shaolin Chi Mantis Traditional Buddhist Kung Fu and Taoist Tai Chi school. As “Buddha Zhen” he taught his Shaolin Kung Fu in prisons, rehabs, schools, churches… and founded the Tai Chi Youth nonprofit for “troubled youth” in 1996.
