Wake up and smell the coffee has a new meaning when you drink from our War Buddha mug. Our War Buddha mug represents the idea that you understand the situation you're in and fully comprehend it. Not only do you understand it you act on it. What is it? Cultural and spiritual malaise. Call it metonoia, waking up or enlightenment but it means you drink, you reflect, you transform from someone without a purpose into a warrior who understands his meaning in life. Our warrior monk is not asleep. He isn't clueless about what he is, what he wants and how to get it. Spotterup is bringing back the meaning of drinking and discussions of important things just like they used to do in coffee houses. This is where the Enlightenment started and where our forefathers began to form their ideas about our freedoms and rights. He has peace in his heart, but violence in his hands and a plan of action in his mind. He's ready to go to WAR! Wake up and be on fire!

The Warrior Monk. The design was inspired by Herman Hesse's novel Siddhartha. In Hesse's story the protagonist feels disconnected from society and he is in search of meaning. This design has nothing to do with Buddhism. The symbol of a peaceful character (Buddha) was specifically chosen to contrast with our view that we must stand up for ourselves against evil, even using weapons if there are no other options. There shouldn't be an internal conflict nor a social disconnection. Our gunfighter knows what he needs to do and he gets it done. Life has purpose, he has a mission and he is going to fight. He must not live life passively.

Exodus 14:14 “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be silent.”

If we are sold out we will have more coming in April-May of 2023
