Bruce
Joel Rubin is an Academy Award winning screenwriter. His film GHOST
won an Oscar for best original screenplay in 1990. His other films
include JACOB'S LADDER, MY LIFE, DEEP IMPACT, STUART LITTLE 2, THE LAST MIMZY,
and the upcoming THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE.
Bruce
resides in Los Angeles with his wife Blanche and two dogs and
also has a home in upstate New York (near Rhinebeck) where he
spends half the year. He has two grown sons, Joshua and Ari, both
filmmakers and wise souls.
Meditation
classes are ongoing in Los Angeles but are taught in New York
only when Bruce and Blanche are in town.
Bruce
believes that meditation, any meditation, is essential to human
happiness and spiritual well being, and encourages everyone to
find a practice that not only inspires them but also challenges
them to grow. He then recommends that they do it for thirty minutes
a day, every day, whether they feel like it or not, ideally, for
the rest of their lives.
Bruce
believes very deeply in the practice he has been doing for the
past 40 years or, as he says, he would not still be doing it.
He was attracted to Rudi's work because it showed him that you
did not have to leave the world to have a spiritual life. If anything,
Rudi taught that this world is your spiritual life, and that the
goal of this existence is to find happiness and fulfillment within
it. This site is dedicated to all those in pursuit of that goal.
