World of Wisdom

Available for over a year

Sudeept in India asked whether it was morally OK to feel good during the pandemic and how he can make sure he remembers the life lessons he gained during this time. Sister Dang, a Buddhist nun, responds by explaining the third and fourth Noble Truths of Buddhism and compares the relief from suffering that joy can bring to the pleasure a gardener experiences when she stops her work to appreciate the flowers.
