DHAMMA BROTHERS

The film, Dhamma Brothers, about a meditation program conducted in one 
of the most violent prisons in the US will be shown at the Coolidge 
Corner Cinema on May 16 and 17.

Lionheart's Houses of Healing program had a very strong presence at 
this prison - Donaldson Correctional Center in Bessemer, Alabama. 
Approximately 400 men were  introduced to meditation through the Houses 
of Healing program, making the  ground fertile for what was to follow. 
With the encouragement of Jenny  Phillips, the film's director and a 
Houses of Healing facilitator, the support  of the Director of 
Treatment of the AL Department of Corrections (DOC), and  the desire to 
facilitate the retreat from staff at the Vipassana Meditation  Center 
under the direction of S.N. Goenka, we approached the Commissioner of  
the AL DOC and opened the door for the 10-day Vipassana retreat. Jenny  
Phillips hired a film crew and has worked tirelessly over a number of 
years to  bring Dhamma Brothers to fruition.

If you are in the Boston area on May 16th  or 17th, I encourage you to 
attend one of the showings at the Coolidge Corner Theatre (Brookline).

Dhamma Brothers will be shown in the small screening theatre on Friday 
evening. Seats are very limited on Friday evening.
It will be shown in a larger theatre on Saturday evening.
Written and directed by Jenny Phillips, Andrew Kukura, Anne Marie Stein
