Although it may be difficult to equate happiness and renunciation; Jack illuminates the complexity of renunciation, and where in our life we can already find this happiness.

In Theravada Buddhism, one of the recipes for human happiness is known as the Ten Perfections. Jack discusses these perfections and the invitation to the happiness they offer us.

“None of these are saying, ‘You are supposed to be virtuous, or you need to be generous,’ they are actually invitations to happiness. This is a way for you to have a profound wellbeing of heart, spirit and mind.”
