What if Buddha was a Zen hippie?

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 a revolving cast of quirky visitors show up at the pond, drawn to the unconventional wisdom on his blog, Peace, Love, and Zen Vibes, Buddhi begins to question whether mindfulness is really about stillness—or if it’s about dancing through the beautiful, messy chaos of life.

But the pond is just a stop on the journey, not the destination. 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.

Lighthearted, wise, and delightfully offbeat, Coffee Stains and Dragonflies invites you to embrace the messiness of life, one mindful moment at a time.
