Coffee Stains and Dragonflies: What if Buddha was a Zen Hippie?

Zen Hippie ~ Book One

 

Buddhi isn’t your typical spiritual guide. Named “Buddha” by his free-spirited, hippie parents, he tweaked the name to something that felt a little more down-to-earth. After trading his Ferrari for a beat-up 1968 VW bus and swapping the chaos of Wall Street for a quiet lotus pond, he’s searching for enlightenment.

With a dragonfly named Miles as his muse, Buddhi has turned the pond into the epicenter of his journey toward mindfulness. Armed with a ukulele, truly terrible coffee, and an irreverent sense of humor, he blogs his way through life’s big questions and small absurdities.

As Buddhi wrestles with the messy beauty of life, he realizes that mindfulness isn’t about escaping the chaos—it’s about learning to groove with it, coffee stains and all.

Peace, Love, and Zen Vibes: Mindful Musings and an Ode to Coffee

Zen Hippie ~ Book Two

Buddhi, the quirky, coffee-fueled hippie, is blogging his way to mindfulness, one messy moment at a time. With wisdom as rich as his bad coffee and a sense of humor as irreverent as his beat-up '68 VW bus, he shares his musings on life, love, and the art of finding Zen in the chaos.

From sitting through life’s storms to finding meaning in dragonfly wings, Buddhi’s posts are full of the everyday enlightenment you didn’t know you needed. 

Whether he’s reflecting on the universe over a sunflower’s bloom or tackling the mystery of why coffee tastes better by a lotus pond, his unique take on mindfulness will make you laugh, think, and maybe even breathe a little deeper.

 

Pond-Side Philosophies: Dragonfly Wisdom and Frog Zen

Zen Hippie ~ Book Three

Buddhi just wanted to drink coffee and write his book. But when you live by a pond with two highly opinionated philosophers—one a shimmering dragonfly sharing his wisdom, the other a contemplative and slightly grumpy frog—nothing is ever that simple.

Miles, the ever-gliding dragonfly, believes in movement, transformation, and going wherever the wind takes him. Harold, the rock-sitting, world-observing frog, believes in patience, stillness, and the occasional well-timed leap.

As Buddhi tries (and fails) to focus on his own work, he finds himself caught in the middle of a hilarious, deeply philosophical, and occasionally exasperating battle between two very different perspectives on life.
