Who Are You, Really? - Gentle Buddhist Teachings & Stories for Deep Sleep

Tonight we slow everything down and rest with one of the oldest questions in Buddhist teaching: who are you, really? Beneath the roles, the thoughts, and the busy mind, the Zen masters point to something that has never changed, a deep peace and awareness that is already within you.

This is a long-form Buddhist podcast and guided journey through Zen stories, Buddhist teachings, and calming wisdom for deep sleep, rest, and letting go. We explore self-discovery, mindfulness, impermanence, non-attachment, and the Buddha's teachings on finding inner peace and true nature, told slowly and gently for rest, relaxation, and the quiet hours of the night.

No knowledge of Buddhism or meditation is needed. There is nothing to follow and nothing to remember. If you drift off partway through, let sleep come.

If this brought you some peace, feel free to follow this sleep podcast for more calming Zen Buddhism and gentle stories to fall asleep, and to share it with someone who could use a peaceful night.
