A Buddhist Compass To Direct You Toward Happiness | Beth Upton
About this episode
The happiness recipe from ancient Buddhist psychology.
Beth Upton has been teaching meditation since 2014. Before that she spent ten years as a Buddhist nun, five of them in Burma under the guidance of Pa Auk Sayadaw. She currently leads the Sanditthika Meditation Community.
In this episode we talk about:
- The Buddhist Abhidhamma, which Beth calls "particle physics for the mind"
- Why she's interested in the broader teaching of Kusala (happy mind states)
- Practical ways to design our lives to get more Kusala
- The beautiful qualities of mind that all co-arise in a moment of Kusala
- How we get tripped up in the realm of the "unwholesome"
- How Beth navigates Kusala and Akusala in her day to day life
