The man reborn—or was he reawakened?—as Django Moon grew up in London, but got out as soon as he could. The tropics of South-East Asia became his home, and where he slowly progressed from human doing to human being. As ‘being’ took over, Django was able to rise again, leading the way back to nature and love, through solitude, meditation and humour. This journey is reflected in the writings found here.

Currently he’s practising ‘The Art of Sacred Idling’ between his homes on the island of Penang, and in the mystical mountains of Togakushi, Japan. 

THE VIPASSANA TRILOGY

It all began like this: a middle-aged man was having a mid-life crisis (the 5th by his reckoning, the first having been when he was 19). He found himself to be very free, without a permanent female companion, and his only son heading off to university far, far away. Wanting to ‘get his head together’, he decided a Vipassana ten-day silent retreat would be a great way to start, and so it was. Whether it got his head together, or blew it apart, is for you, the reader, to decide.

‘Confessions of a Serial Meditator’ describes that experience, what led him to it, and what it led him to. ‘Adventures of a Wannabe Buddha’ soon descended into ‘Trials of a Wannabe Buddha’, but even that felt more like being committed than the freedom he knew he had, but couldn’t quite run to earth. That’s when the alien showed up, dressed as a Blues Brother, and the real adventure began. The Wannabe Buddha became a ‘Monk on a Mission’, a paradoxical combination of a modern-day ascetic and cosmic comic. Enter Django Moon...

As the meditations deepened, and consciousness heightened, it was clear that there was more at stake than one man’s mind, and the battle within it: our beloved Mother Earth was going through her own mid-life crisis (perhaps her 5th one too?). Of course she would be fine, in time, but the future of her master species—yep, us lot; you, me and every other poor soul—was in the balance. The end of the world, or the dawn of a new age?

Impermanence: To Live and to Die. Which way will it go? Only one way to find out. And don’t forget, this is a true story… it just hasn’t happened yet.
