I am so stoked to see this video with Vinny! Dan, this is one of (three) top favorite interviews you’ve done, bravo 👏 👏👏. I’ve listened to audio 3X already & found real Gems I can apply to my 80/yr. Journey in Life. Love the ten percent app & what it is offering.
We're so grateful for your support!
Love you Vinny. This is awesome.
Amazing video indeed ❤ which are the other two? :) we have similar tastes and now Im really curious, perhaps I need to watch those too. 🙏
I'd like to know as well...(about the other 2 videos) I've spent the last 60 years looking for 'my path' to start my' journey and just recently realized I've been on it the whole time - for good and not so good but the journey continues.
Without a doubt one of the finest conversations I've heard on this or any podcast., plus funny as hell. I will save this one for repeated listening.
Wow, thank you!
Wow! Dan, this interview blew me away. After 30+ years of practice, I feel like I just had a wake-up call. Reminded me that I’m not the “advanced” practitioner. I’m just an experienced beginner. Vinny opened up a few doors today. Thank you.
Love this, thanks for sharing!
Wow, this man is astounding. Thank you so much for this interview. Every moment is edifying. Please have him back again.
This episode is a game changer. I’ve listened to it every day for a week on my commute. I feel like this has whisked me forward in my understanding and practice. Real world application of Buddhist principles, authentic, and funny as hell. Thank you ❤
The children running around behind Vinny made my day.
Love this!
I've been here since the beginning and never yet heard an interview that didn't move me along in my practice, but this interview with Vinny Ferraro? Game changer. I feel like my understanding has deepened.
A gem!
Like so many on here, this interview has been food for my soul today. My Mom passed in 2008, and she always said to me, "Ter, if you do the work all your needs will be met. You where you are because you are the sum total of your experiences and decisions. Learn to question, to accept and let go when possible of suffering. Be aware of your thoughts. Those thoughts will teach you either a positive or a negative, if you are paying attention. Choose wisely." I have been allowing myself to suffer through moments that don't belong to me, but I take it on to try and gain perspective and understanding. This has not alleviated the suffering, quite the opposite, I feel resentment and frustration. Last night my Mom came to me in my dreams and she tended to me lovingly. I woke up this morning with her wisdom rekindled in my mind and heart. I am in this moment, back to being consciously aware and allowing myself to be ok. I thank you and Vinnie for your time and amazing insights. 💖
Whoa-this one literally saved my sanity and my life tonight!!!
I just can’t thank you enough for this ❤️
Please have Vinny back again. This podcast was outstanding.
Thanks, This has really spoken to me and has made me cry. Wonderful wonderful. Love to Vinny.
Thanks for watching!
Great interview. Years ago I went to a retreat through mindful schools. Vinny was part of the faculty. A great person and teacher. So good to see and hear from him again.
This brought me to tears several times. Beautiful words, beautiful man, beautiful host. I appreciate your work, Dan! Thank you!
I have watched and listened at least five times. Obtained the transcript and have read it twice. Culturally my teaching has mostly been the gospel, but for 40 years have dabbled with Buddhist meditations and teachers,
Vonnie’s process is the onl y one that I have understood. In the spirit of things his teachings parallel those of the Jesuit priest Fr . Greg Boyle.
Thank you, Dan. Have just come across your work and have read your first book and am trying out your app.
Well done, good hopes and hand get that Vinnie back soon!
Dan interviewed Father Greg Boyle too. It’s another great episode. Vinny is amazing … maybe my absolute favorite as a long time listener of the podcast. There are new ones with Vinny now. He sounds so kind & gentle & humble. If you like Vinny’s approach maybe check out Dan’s interview with Pascal Auclair too. Another great teacher
✨ 💜 ✨
I am in awe of this session. I really needed to hear these sentiments today. Wish you all love and light 😊
This is one of my 10 Percent favs. So sincere.
This is the first episode I’ve ever listened to and I am OBSESSED.
Welcome aboard!
Wow! Wow! Wow! What an inspiring interview! Love him and you Dan for bringing this to us!
Thanks for watching!
What a great wise and insightful guest! I heard this episode while jogging and now returned to watch the video again to learn from Vinny and understand what he says on a deeper level. Please do another episode with Vinny soon
Thank you for bringing Vinny Ferraro into our lives. This podcast was the key to understanding where I've been stuck. This was your most enlightening episode yet. I have listened to it three times. The third time, I listened to it with my teenaged son who just happened to to be in the room next to mine and he said: Ma! who is this guy? He is making this meditation stuff so easy to understand! He gets it! Thank you for a generational explanation to the path forward.
Yes we are a constant work in progress.
Another banger! Wow. My life has changed for the better because of this podcast over the last several years. I became a meditator and then a Buddhist because of it, and am so grateful for the path I'm on in my life, and for all the teachers I've met and continue to meet who enrich me and challenge me. Thanks Dan (and Vinny!) and the whole TPH team.
Wow, what a compliment. We're so grateful for your support!
Long-time admirer of Vinny. So glad he's on!
Us too!
I would love to hear more from Vinny! He makes the practice so accessible! Much gratitude 🙏
Phenomenal!! So much truth, heart, wisdom shared ! TY!!
This was one of the best talks I've heard in a while, especially as I presently experience loss and self blame...Thank you so much Vinny..❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve benefitted a lot from Vinny’s guided meditations and reflections.
Dan this interview was so great it was a nice breath of fresh air!!!

We're so grateful for your support!
We're so grateful for your support!
I have been a practitioner since 2001 and have studied several dharma teachers. These precious and rare dharma teachings combined with his gentle, authentic transmission from Vinny speak so deeply to my practice. I have shared it with my friends and family. Russ thank you for your journey that has brought so many amazing teachers to the masses. My favorite is Vinny. Please send us more from him!
i loved hearing vinny it just made it better when i hear the genuine laughs and excitement from dan. i too am listening like a great movie i will pick up new pieces i missed while trying to absorb the last line. thanks for making this available for the people!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dan, you are an amazing interviewer and therapist !
I have listened and now watched this episode so many times. Vinny resonates like a BASS DRUM with me... thank you❤🎉
This was, for me, the best chat I've heard on TPH.
What a compliment!
What a breath of fresh air!
Yes! Thank you.
Loved this, Dan! I’m listening for the 2d time. ❤
Most Awesome Interview! Phenomenal!!

Loved it, feel lucky to have come across Vinny over 12 yrs ago when he was involved with mindful schools and the yourself Dan a few years later so grateful for you both and your teachings ❤
This is an absolutely incredible podcast
What a great day for my inner fan girl! We saw Dan in Denver last year and I attended a retreat with Vinny last fall, I just knew that you two would get together and share an enlightened (and chucklesome) conversation eventually . Thanks guys!
Pure gold! So helpful. Thanks for making this free and available!
Wonderful!
Thank you. I needed this today. ❤ I appreciate it and your sharing your wisdom with me today.
Dan Joseph brought me here and Vinny spoke about the unspoken. Thank you.
Thank you for joining!
This was amazingly engaging and real and helpful. I hope Vinny does become a frequent flyer. Thanks DJ for making this conversation happen! (I think Vinny’s last name is misspelled in the title.) 🙏
Thank you!
Amazing interview. I really needed to hear this
We're so glad!
Here we are ❤
Of got to be honest, although I’ve been on a mindfulness journey for a few years now, some of this was over my head. But what a gem of an interview and incredible human and teacher. Thank you for this.
Thanks for sharing!
i would say play it a few times you will pick up pieces here and there that are very helpful
@@jillemery1594 I’ll do that thank you
Yeah me too. Doesn’t help that I have the flu🤣
Dr. Lustig is a National Treasure!!!!
Thank you❤
Thank you!
Vinny - wonderful - heard him before on Tricycle - very cool teacher!! Thank you for having him on! I just began to listen here and looking forward!!
Thanks for your support!
Yeah, a wake-up call! I felt like that too!
Wow! Thanks for introducing me to Vinny. On my 3rd listen
Thank you Dan!
Thanks for watching!
I let go of family but with love - I had to work thru some relationships on the inner plane and get a perspective and get my ego out of the way... so I ended up with compassion, understanding and love... but can't impose what we have realized unless there is fertile ground on their end.
Me too.
I'm gonna have to watch this again. I keep seeing "Analyze Dis" (Robert De Niro). Once I get past that, what Vinny says is very profound. I just keep getting hung up on how this would make a great sequel to the movie.
Love this!
Just curious 👀; I love Dan’s Podcasts; but does he not Do TV (ABC/Nightline News Anymore )??
Where can I find out more about his concept of alignment
What book is some of this stuff in?
55:35 his voice changed.
Mic drop.
I miss Against the Stream :(. Thanks Dan! Thanks Vinny! Hey Dan, do you ever bring chicks on with long-term meditation practices? I'd love to hear their perspective cause I'm a chick :)
Yes, definitely!
@@TenPercentHappier Thank you, and THANK YOU! Vinny and Noah and the whole lot of them were a huge part of my path when I moved back to LA. I'm doing dissertation work with corrections officers....it's cause of this. Love you both🙏
What a beautiful discussion. It’s such a joy to witness two articulate, humble and evolved people showing and sharing themselves for the benefit of all. This couldn’t have come at a better time for me. So much wisdom and humanity packed into this interview. So much gratitude for all you do Dan! ❤
Why would you make fun of Eckhart Tolle. He is a wonderful beautiful incredibly wise - and kind caring - man. Maybe you should sit with him more. . PS Maybe invite Eckhart Toile on and welcome what is here to learn. Namaste. Peace. Thank you.
Not a fan of this one…
Non of this comes close to the power of the Rosary! I done every meditation under the sun. Why is he moral why follow reason? I by my own power can not reach true enlightenment its by the power of God one finds more to the body and mind my dna and life has transformed by the power I feel flow through my body. Our new religions - Godless. ;) well done humans.
Wow, this man is astounding. Thank you so much for this interview. Every moment is edifying. Please have him back again.
