10/29/2013 After watching this documentary two questions were still left unanswered in my mind: 1. Who is Noah Levine? and 2. Why should I care? Meditate and Destroy is the story of Noah and how he stopped being a drug addicted burden to society. Though it was an extreme change of lifestyle and Noah deserves a lot of credit for changing his life again I was left wondering what is the difference between Noah and the other thousands of people who have gone through the same transformations? If he was a public figure than perhaps I could have given this documentary a bit more thought otherwise it just dull.

See more 12/06/2009 This is an inspiring story of a man who found a new way of life through Buddhism and punk rock. The two seem like an unlikely combination, but "Meditate and Destroy" shows how they coexist. Noah Levine was part of a generation of rebellious kids that turned to drugs, punk rock, alcohol and crime. He saw inconsistencies in society. Through Buddhism, he was able to channel this energy positively and turn his life around. He now works to inspire other troubled youth in juvenile halls and prisons as a Buddhist counselor and teacher. "Meditate and Destroy" tells how he turned away from rebellion to meditation and spiritualism. Director Sarah Fisher touches on the spirit of punk rock in the documentary, a medium that is often misunderstood. A great film for anyone who enjoys punk rock, Buddhism, meditation or inspiring stories. See more 02/14/2009 A punk turns pseudo-buddhist and writes a book about it. He actually believes in the AA 12 step program more than anything else. He talks to other punks and listless youth and tries to convert them. People talk about how great he is and he constantly pushes the book, making it come off like an infomercial. Rock on. See more Read all reviews
