David Lynch’s visit to Maharishi School leads to successful benefit concert

On April 4th, 2009, thousands of people including celebrities, Yoko Ono, Jennifer Aniston and John McEnroe, excitedly gathered at Radio City Hall in New York City for the ‘Change Begins Within’ concert, which was headlined by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The event quickly became focus of three thousand press articles, forty TV news spots, and the eyes and ears of the whole world, a historic event that is a by product of David Lynch’s visit to Maharishi School in Fairfield, Iowa, USA, five years ago.

When David visited Maharishi School, he found happy, healthy children, relaxed teachers, and outstanding academic achievements. He was so deeply moved and inspired, that he launched The David Lynch Foundation, a foundation aimed at making Transcendental Meditation (TM) available to schools throughout the world. Since his visit, David has continued to devote much of his time to raising awareness of the benefits of the TM Programme in education, culminating most recently with the historic ‘Change Begins Within’ concert in New York.

Throughout the concert, the array of diverse stars and celebrities all spoke of their long-term benefits from practising Transcendental Meditation, and many video clips were shown of students whose lives have been positively turned around since TM has been introduced into their school’s ‘Quiet Time’, with support from the David Lynch Foundation. All evening, the crowds cheered and applauded the great talent and the sincere dedication of the stars to this worthy cause.

The concert resulted in three million dollars raised towards teaching Transcendental Meditation to one million students around the world.
