I've explained my thoughts a number of times in this thread already but I'll say it again.
If you believe that he is smiling because of an advertisement at the end, that really cheapens the character of Don and his entire journey in the series, in this season, and in the finale and basically believe that his moment with Leonard meant nothing.
I like to believe he was smiling because he finally found peace, not because he thought of an advertisement. The ad view is much more cynical, and I don't think that's what Weiner was going for.
ETA: If you are thinking about a commercial during meditation you are doing it totally wrong. Of course he used the retreat as inspiration for the ad, but I believe it came later.

I don't think what you said is mutually exclusive.
IOW, he found inner peace and he thought of the ad later.
My point is that the viewers knew that Don came up w/ the ad.
Thus, he returned to work and became "well".
I may not be explaining it well....
