Michael Imperioli (From The Sopranos & White Lotus) Knows a Sh*tload About Buddhist Meditation

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 with ‪@meditationwithmichaelimper342‬ 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

Such a great interview, again! That was really interesting. And I read his book "The perfume burned his eyes", that I bought because of the title - in France, the title is "Wild side" - and it was so good. I didn't know much about Michael Imperioli, I just knew he was an actor, but I can say he is also a great writer.

How did he survive and thrive in Hollywood before Buddhism? Was he Catholic?
