Perry makes this statement on the DLF website: I have been meditating
for two years now, and it's the best thing I have ever done to help bring more creativity, positive
energy, and peace to my life… I support the David
Lynch Foundation because it brings Transcendental
Meditation to millions of
adults and children
all over the world who suffer from post-traumatic
stress, such as veterans, inner-
city school kids, and
women and girls who are victims of violence.
Lynch himself - in addition to his other many accomplishments (filmmaker, musician, visual artist, television director, actor) – has practiced Transcendental Meditation (TM) assiduously since 1973. In 1975
he met the founder of the TM movement, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He later enrolled in the Maharishi's 2003 month-long "Millionaire's Enlightenment Course" (so named because the enrollment fee was one million USD).
Lynch continues to avidly spread the word about the benefits of TM.
After attending the Maharishi's 2008 funeral, Lynch stated: "In 20, 50, 500 years there will be millions of people who know and understand what
the Maharishi has done." Lynch's 2009 benefit concert, titled "Change Begins Within" featured such celebrities as Paul McCartney, Sheryl Crow, Moby and Mike Love. Other filmmakers have also publicized Lynch's TM efforts in documentaries such as "David Wants to Fly" and "Beyond the Noise…"
