Everything Changes - Sleep to Gentle Buddhist Teachings & Zen Stories for Peace and Rest

Tonight we will learn about the storms that pass through the mind. The moods that arrive without warning, stay longer than we would like, and leave as suddenly as they came.This episode draws on the Buddhist and Zen traditions to explore the five kinds of difficult weather that visit every mind, wanting, frustration, heaviness, restlessness, and doubt, and the ancient teaching that none of them are who we are. Through stories from across the Buddhist world and beyond, we discover what happens when we stop fighting our inner weather and learn to let it pass.This is a long, unhurried journey meant for rest, reflection, and the slow hours before sleep. No prior knowledge of Buddhism or meditation is needed. Suitable for deep relaxation, sleep, and anyone who could use a reminder that difficult feelings do not last forever.If this brought you some peace, you are welcome to follow this Zen Buddhist sleep podcast for more long-form audio like this, and share it with anyone who could use a calmer night.This script was originally written, researched and produced by Midnight Monk. ✨🧘🌙
