Three Buddhist Practices For Getting Your Sh*t Together | Vinny Ferraro

Three Buddhist Practices For Getting Your Sh*t Together | Vinny Ferraro

Practical advice from a straight-talking former criminal and occasionally profane Dharma teacher.

Vinny Ferarro has practiced insight meditation (vipassanā) since the mid-90s. He's the Guiding Teacher of the Big Heart City Sangha in San Francisco and has led a weekly sitting group for almost two decades.

As a fully empowered Dharma Teacher through Spirit Rock/IMS, he has taught residential retreats at various centers and currently leads Spirit Rock's Year to Live course.

This episode originally dropped in May of 2024, but we're re-posting it because it was one of our most successful episodes.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Alignment
  • Vinny's concept of "flashing your basic goodness"
  • Noting practice
  • The deep satisfaction in not seeking satisfaction
  • Redirecting awareness
  • Being an "empathetic witness" for yourself
  • When to opt for distraction
  • Not taking what's not yours
  • Vinny's ancestor practice
  • What is the connection between seeing our family patterns and not taking what is not ours?
  • How loyal have we been to our suffering?
