Buddha Zhen's Present to the World

I realize I don't set the best example of being social. I don't keep track of our facebook pages, or read my emails but once a week, and I'd like to better about sending out birthday cards and Christmas cards...

Of course, that's life to some extent. You can't expect more than you give. But that's why I've been so frustrated this past year: I do give a lot. I work very hard, mostly for free, for the school, for the students...

I do what I think is the best use of my energies and creativity for the world, the future, for...

Well, I've just given the world the best present ever: the book: HUMAN VALUES FOR SUCCESS IN FAMILY AND BUSINESS.

Anyone who reads this book will never get divorced. This book can solve family problems, business problems, and explain why anyone's world isn't working properly.

Every mistake I've made could've been prevented if I had read this book first.

It's done.

Yep. Amazingly. It's huge! It's over 3" of pages.

I divided it up into weekly lessons for 4 years. I put a divider for every single week... This book is done.

Now what? How do I put it into action?

Well, it's done, and it's ready to be printed, digitized, typeset...

The Future of BKF = TCY Online School

Since I can't depend on Buddha Kung Fu or its students to launch and create this school, I will be working for Tai Chi Youth to create it.

I'll post updates here.

Disciple Shawn Has New Video Camera

Disciple Jessica gave Disciple Shawn an almost professional camera with HD format we can use to start shooting the videos of shaolinINTERACTIVE.com

Although I hope to launch the TCY ONLINE SCHOOL to produce these videos, this is a great opportunity to gain some exposure and publicity...

Thank you Disciple Jessica. That was a very thoughtful present for everyone, the school and our future.

5. -- BOOKS of Buddha Kung Fu --

Human Values = 4 Books = 4 Years

As we all know, we have too much bookwork for squeezing into only one class per week. We need at least two classes of the same class to possibly squeeze our current reading assignments into class time.

So, let's schedule a BOOK CLASS.

Less pressure, more time for discussion...

I really really really like this idea.

We haven't agreed on a DEMO TEAM class yet.

Perhaps an hour for each, or an hour and a half... One hour might not be enough for both...

An hour for each would be ideal. What about FRIDAY NIGHTS? People don't go out dancing and partying on Friday nights anymore. At least I don't. How about it? Friday nights would be fun. We could go out to a Chinese restaurant afterwards to make it still feel like a Friday night...

6. -- MUSIC of Buddha Kung Fu --

"Christmas Is" = Highest Selling December Song

The song, "Christmas Is," from the American Zen new album, LEVEL 4 = Kung Fu Cowboy PART 1: King Solomon's Temple was our highest selling song last month at iTunes.

Thank you students. I'd like to think that many of these song sales were from you.

I appreciate your support in all your ways...

Thank you.

Tai Chi Youth ADVISORY BOARD

We need a full Board of Trustees. There are 15 positions on the board. Some are paid, but most are volunteers.

To minimize commitments and help us get the ball rolling we've also created another group of people, the TCY ADVISORY BOARD.

This TCY Advisory Board would require less commitment but enable some people with the skills and experience we need right now to contribute at least a little bit of their time.

Contact Richard Connor at 818-723-2769 for more information.
