About this episode
In the Buddhist tradition, we make the distinction between "ordinary" and "extraordinary" happiness. Extraordinary happiness, simply put, is a happiness beyond conditions. Thomas shares about this teaching in the context of Advent, a time when we can bring more awareness to our "distorted values" and let in greater Light.
