Breathe in… the adventure begins

The Time-Stoppers Trilogy

The magic you need
is already inside you.

Three adventures in the Gaya Forest that hand you the real superpower for growing up — the power to tame anger, panic, and the voice that says you're not enough.

"You cannot always control the storms of growing up—but you do not have to let them wash you away."
From the Gaya Forest

Growing up can feel like navigating a fierce monsoon without an umbrella. Your body changes, friendships shift, and sudden, overwhelming emotions hit like a storm. This trilogy follows two unlikely friends—Svasti, a boy the world calls worthless, and Sujata, a girl crushed by everyone's expectations—as they discover an ancient magic that needs no wand or spellbook. Only your own heartbeat, and one slow breath.

Three Books, One Journey

Read them in order and grow alongside the characters — from loud monsters that roar, to quiet ones that whisper, to the hardest goodbye of all.

Book One

A Mindful Tale of the Gaya Forest

When the monsters roar, learn to stop time.

Eleven-year-old Svasti's whole life is made of mud—until a lost calf leads him into the forbidden forest and a teacher who offers him something no one ever has: the belief that he matters. Alongside Sujata, a chief's daughter suffocating under her own golden cage, he learns to build an invisible shield against cruel words, drop an anchor when panic crashes over him, and cast the "Time-Stopper" spell to find calm in chaos.

伽耶森林的正念之旅

《心锚少年三部曲》 第一册

成长,有时就像没带伞便走进了滂沱的季风雨里。身体一夜之间变了样,友情如流沙般悄悄改变,而那些情绪汹涌而来,大得几乎要撑破胸膛——咆哮的"愤怒之兽"、令人窒息的"恐慌之兽",还有那嗡嗡作响、铺天盖地的焦虑,让整个世界都显得不公而孤单。可是,如果你拥有一种能够驯服它们的超能力呢?

两个截然不同的少年——缚悉底(Svasti),一个十一岁的"不可接触者"少年;善生(Sujata),位族长的女儿——在幽深的伽耶森林里,偶遇一位老师,传授他们一种古老而惊人的魔法。这魔法不需要魔杖,只需要一次呼吸,一颗静下来的心。

他们学会了:为自己筑起一面看不见的盾牌,抵御刻薄的言语;在恐慌的浪潮扑面而来时,抛下一只锚稳住自己;并施展那"时间静止"之术——一种在风暴中央寻得宁静的咒语。

Book Two

The Invisible Boy and the Secret Garden

The cleverest monsters don't roar. They whisper.

Now teenagers living inside the Buddha's monastery, Svasti and Sujata face quieter, sneakier monsters—the ones that wear your own face and whisper you don't belong here. They meet Rahula, a prince terrified of being ordinary; Sunita, a boy the world decided was invisible; and Devadatta, whose beautiful smile hides an empire of exclusion. The lesson is harder this time: the real battle is fought inside your own head.

隐形男孩与秘密花园

《心锚少年三部曲》 第二册

最聪明的怪兽,不是咆哮着来的。它们悄声低语。

已成为青少年的缚悉底与善生,在佛陀的寺院里相遇了三个新朋友——一位害怕平凡的王子罗睺罗,一个被世界遗忘的"隐形男孩"旃陀(Sunita),以及一个用笑容掩盖伤痛的女孩提婆达多(Devadatta)。真正的战场,在他们自己的心里。

这一次,五个孩子要面对的怪兽更加狡猾——它们不咆哮,只低语:"你不够好""你不属于这里"。他们将一同学会"真实自我清单",练习"观浪",以及"归属感检验",在内心最深处找到那把照亮黑暗的光。

故事发生在古印度,却说的是此刻每一个年轻心灵都在经历的事:如何在他人的目光里,仍然看见自己的价值。

Book Three

The Lion's Roar and the Final Magic

This is the book about letting go.

Now young adults, the friends face the monster that doesn't roar or whisper—it simply sits down beside you. Its name is loss. The final magic is the hardest, and the most freeing: learning to hold yourself with the same compassion the forest taught you to offer others.

狮子吼与最终的魔法

《心锚少年三部曲》 第三册

有的怪兽咆哮,有的怪兽低语。而这一只,只是不请自来,静静地在你身旁坐下。它的名字,叫"失去"。

在三部曲的终章里,缚悉底、善生和罗睺罗已不再是迷惘的少年。他们是青年——坚强、能干,彼此相依。然而,扶持的"辅助轮"即将卸下。佛陀渐渐老去,而他的弟子们必须面对一个最令人恐惧的问题:当那个教会你一切的人不再在你身边时,你该怎么办?

这是一本关于放手的书,也是关于鼓起勇气,去感受你一直压抑着的一切情绪的书。最后的魔法藏在这里:"激进的暂停"、"摊开的手"、"最智慧的朋友"之术,以及一封"给自己的慈悲信"——由那个最了解你全部真相的人,亲手写下。

那个人,就是你自己。

About the Author

Chunfeng "Breeze" Dong

Mindfulness coach · Springbreeze Ventures

For twenty years Breeze worked with leaders inside the world's biggest companies—places where people stare at screens for twelve hours and call it a normal Tuesday. But the missing piece wasn't in the boardroom. It was in the mountains of Bhutan and Nepal, where she studied mindfulness and Buddhist psychology—the same ancient wisdom the Buddha teaches Svasti in these books.

"I know the magic for this. But nobody taught it to me when I was thirteen, when I needed it most."

She wrote this trilogy for one reason above all: her daughter. Watching her own child hit the teenage years, she recognised every monster in these pages—and thought, so she wrote it down. Not as a textbook, but as a story—because stories are how humans have passed on their most important secrets since the first campfire.
