A little biography
Who is Devean?
I’m the Top 10 best-selling author of Modern Buddhism, founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar company, and spiritual teacher. I have been guiding successful people through their spiritual growth for a decade. Recently, after the success of my book, I branched out into the public domain.
My teachings are a melding of many different philosophies, and life situations.
I was born into a family of Buddhist monks on my mother’s side. My uncle is an Archbishop in the catholic church on my father’s side. Due to unforeseen circumstances, my childhood was spent in the housing projects in New York. With the lessons I’ve learned from the ancient Buddhas and through the development of my own philosophy, I found success at a young age - starting and selling a multi-million dollar company by age 31.
Melding my spiritual studies and my success in business I’ve helped many people find their own way.
My only goal is to help as many people as possible navigate the mess that our world is in.

Why Nothing Seems To Work
-
The more you search for happiness, the further away it becomes. Gautama Buddha says that searching for happiness is like trying to reach the horizon. As much as you try, it will always remain in the distance. A mirage.
This search for happiness only leads to desperation and misery. Down the years and through many lives it has only ever led to these two things. You'll always wonder what will be the key to unlocking ultimate ecstasy, and you’ll become more and more hopeless with every key that doesn’t fit the lock.
-
The search is not specific to you. It’s a common thread between us all. Happiness is moving further away from society, as a whole, at an alarming rate. Today, we search for it more than we ever have before. Societies have been searching for happiness for centuries. Why haven’t we found it? With all the miracles of the modern world, why is there no guide that leads you through this search?
-
The search itself is the problem.
How could the search be the problem? If I do not search then how will I find it? Imagine upturning your home, flipping cushions, and looking through drawers, frustrated, looking for the keys that were in your pocket all along. So distracted by looking, so distracted by the absence that you couldn’t notice the obvious.
-
Can you envision a life where happiness grows unconditionally inside of you, with no attachments, nothing that could take it away from you? Can you envision happiness that exists without your need to look for it in every person and in every situation? Imagine a happiness that isn’t dependent on a person or a thing. A happiness that no one is responsible for.
I promise you that it does exist, and it’s closer to you than you might think.
Psychiatry Only Gets You So Far
Psychiatry is like pruning the leaves of a tree that’s full of problems, neurosis, and doubt. These are issues that embody the average person. Pruning the leaves work for a while, but unless you cut off the roots of the tree, they will continue to grow back. At times even stronger. The Ancient Psychology that I teach is cutting the roots of the tree itself.
Buddha’s Ancient Teachings for the Modern Person
Modern Buddhism
Modern Buddhism, the top 10 Amazon Theravada Buddhism Best-Seller, is a modern interpretation of the Buddha’s ancient teachings. To understand the words of the Buddha, they must be explained by one who has experienced the path. From the very first chapter, we begin to dispel the misunderstanding that has surrounded the words of the Buddha. We come to understand the origins of unhappiness that have taken roots in our bodies. Ultimately, we learn the ways to free ourselves from these roots and find peace.
The Truth About
Finding Happiness
Happiness is not a commodity, it is not a thing, it cannot be purchased. It is a
consequence of an alert life. My whole teaching is to make you more alert, so that life does not just pass.
Our whole life is just playing games. You do it because you are unaware. Unaware of
how much time, energy, and life are being wasted. Only when death starts coming
closer do you become more alert. Life is not something that should just pass, it is an
opportunity to reach somewhere deep within you.
I have watched even my uncles that are Buddhist monks become trapped in the games.
Power, prestige, money, sex, religious zealousness. All of it is a game. On the surface,
only games exist. Unless you touch the center, you will only live in illusion.
The ones that are aware stand out from the crowd. Everyone else is moving as if they
are drunk. They don’t know who they are, they don’t know where they are, where they
are going, or even why they are going.
I will teach you how to go through life with awareness, use life to gain roots, and use life as an
opportunity to reach the divine. Only there can you find true happiness.
