Hey Everyone…
\nI just saw this amazing movie\/documentary called “The Dhamma Brothers”. It is the story of the Alabam prison system introducing intensive Vipassana meditation retreats into their prisoner treatment programs. I had seen “Doing Time, Doing Vipassana” which is about the introduction of meditation into prisons in India… also amazing and I highly recommend it. But what made “The Dhamma Brothers” so remarkable is that it happened in Alabama, the state with some of the most\u00a0PUNITIVE correctional facilities in the country. Plus Buddhism and meditation in general, arrived in the prison as this really foreign (witch-craftery) kind of discourse that threated the Christian standard. The film is really inspiring and moving, but never in a sentimental way….
\nSee this movie!!!! (Watch the trailer first…..)
