Actor Michael Imperioli is best known for a string of memorable onscreen performances that include Goodfellas, The Sopranos, and most recently on The White Lotus. What you may not know is that he has a deep Buddhist practice and has actually grown into something of a meditation teacher.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The classic celebrity life crisis that brought Imperioli to Buddhism
  • The importance of consistent practice as a way to get familiar with your mind so that your thoughts and emotions and urges don't own you
  • The specific Tibetan Buddhist tradition Imperioli practices and what his daily practice looks like
  • Whether meditation helps him be more creative
  • How acting and meditation are similar
  • Whether getting older affects our ability to grok impermanence
  • Why Imperioli started teaching meditation online
  • How to meditate off the cushion in daily life
