This 3 minute video premiered at the Change Begins Within benefit concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 4th, 2009. The video provides a compelling introduction to the purpose and goal of the David Lynch Foundation, which is to provide scholarships for one million at-risk youth to meditate—students who are struggling to learn and live in an atmosphere of intense stress, disease, and violence.

Good lord, God bless David Lynch. The more I learn about him, the more I am amazed by him. Meditation in school? Pure genius. Thumbs up, Mr. Lynch.

Fantastic video that shows the power of Transcendental meditation as a non-intrusive technique that can help at risk youngsters in our communities around the world

David Lynch is the embodiment of good. He's doing so much good to the world and I am so happy to see that he is helping make an actual different in schools and homes.

David Lynch should definitely do a full documentary about transcendental meditation in schools and get it in theaters

"It's turned our community a full 360"

...so the community is ultimately going in the same direction? ;-)

my understanding is the main reason this isn't being taught in ALL schools, et al, is ignorance and fear. All it takes is one parent to object and the school doesn't get to do it. The typical reason is they believe TM is a religion [which it's not].

Having people embrace stuff like this gives hope for mankind.

Finally someone is helping kids with their stress as a way to improve grades and relationships at school.

Your foundation is great, David. You've done so much good for school children. its impact is going to be tremendous now and in the future all over the world. I've been doing TM-Sidhi program for 25 years now and it's my greatest gift to myself, my family and friends and to the world! If I could help in anyway, I'll be privileged. Thank you...Socorro
