The David Lynch Foundation is not defining "Change Begins Within" as a concert to "raise millions to introduce 'TM/Quiet Time' into public schools." The DLF Website states the purpose as follows:

"The David Lynch Foundation provides funds for students to learn to meditate through TM teaching centers, hospital-sponsored wellness programs, boys and girls clubs, before- and after-school programs, and in schools when invited by the administration. Instruction is voluntary and is provided to a child with the permission of a parent and with no cost to the family, organization, or school."

This concert is NOT an attempt to introduce TM to the public school system. It is to raise funds to teach 1 million kids to meditate--in TM centers or through any organizations that request TM. Any school that wishes to implement a TM program can approach the Foundation or the local TM center for information, but it is for a school to decide if they want an in-school program, just as it is for the parents and students to decide on their participation. All TM in-school programs are by invitation from the school and parents.

Meditation may be the best thing to spend money on for our kids. Just look at the scientific research verifying TM's benefits, and check out what researchers from medical schools and doctors are saying at www.DoctorsonTM.org . The NIH has so far spent $24 million researching TM's effects on brain function and cardiovascular health, and the grants keep coming.
