DAVID LYNCH - LYNCH CALLS FOR SCHOOLS TO ADOPT MEDITATION

Director DAVID LYNCH has urged American schools to adopt meditation techniques to avoid a repeat of last month's (Apr07) American university shooting. Thirty-three people died in the Virginia Tech University massacre when Seung-Hui Cho went on a killing spree. But the Blue Velvet director insists it's not enough to just adopt new security measures - youngsters should meditate to calm stress and avoid taking their anger out on others. He says, "I think rules about guns being in schools will never stop school violence. What is causing this rage and this imbalance that would cause a student to want to harm another student or many other students? "The cure for this is a very, very beautiful cure, a very beautiful technique... that allows any human being to dive within and experience this deepest level of life. When I started meditating I had a real anger in me and I would take this anger out on my first wife. "Two weeks after I stared meditating, this anger lifted."
