Edie Falco is open about her religious beliefs in interviews. During an onstage chat with Arianna Huffington at Fortune magazine's Brainstorm Health Conference, Falco talked about being Buddhist. As the actress explained, she had been studying Buddhism for 25 years at the time of the 2019 interview, and said that because of her beliefs, her "life has changed for the better." She also talked about how meditation, rituals, and prayers had become a big part of her life.

How did The Sopranos star get into Buddhism? As Falco told Vulture, she saw a flyer on a telephone pole in New York City that was an advertisement for meditation classes. She remembered "it felt a little cult-y," adding that people at her first class were "smiling a little too much, and that scared [her]." This didn't matter, however, as she connected with the meditation teachings and transitioned into studying Buddhism.

Falco also talked to The Guardian about her Buddhist beliefs, especially the afterlife. She hoped that in accord with her religion, she will be reborn as another human, but clarified, "I hope it's not an actor next time."
