Can Meditation Stop School Violence?

1 comments
David Lynch says yes. He wants to teach 1 million students to meditate in order to transform schools from places of stress to centers of peace.

Check it:

Filmmaker David Lynch will announce during a global webcast (www.DavidLynchFoundation.org) on Tuesday, May 1, at 12 noon (EDT), the David Lynch Foundation’s new plan to end school violence: Teach one million students around the world to meditate to transform schools from breeding grounds of stress and violence into centers of creativity and peace.

The David Lynch Foundation has already provided nearly $5 million to support in-school Transcendental Meditation programs for thousands of students in public and private schools in the United States and around the world to learn to meditate.

I wonder what Brian Boitano would do?

I don't think it has to be Transcendental Meditation per se. I think any method of meditation: Shamita; Vipassna; Zen; etc. can be used. To promote only one (religious) style of meditation is not ethical for approach to schools. Meditation methods need to be all inclusive for the population that it is used for. TM is primarily based on Hindu religion. The mantras, etc. used in the techniques focus on methods that come from only one religious source.
