When the Mind Won't Let Go: Calming Buddhist Wisdom & Stories for Rest

Tonight, as we prepare for rest, we will look at the wisdom of Buddhism to find the difference between the happiness we chase and the happiness that is already here. Through Zen stories and Buddhist teachings told slowly for the late hours, we look at why the mind clings to what went wrong, how the grip begins to soften, and what the old masters meant when they said the search ends where it started.
This is a long, unhurried journey of stories and gentle teachings, made for rest, reflection, and sleep. There is nothing to do and nothing to remember. Settle in, let the lights be low, and let the words do the carrying.
No knowledge of Buddhism or meditation is needed. If tonight brought you some ease, feel free to follow this sleep podcast for more calming Zen Buddhism and gentle stories to fall asleep.
