Let Go of Knowing... Buddhist Teachings & Zen Tales for Calming Sleep

Tonight, we set down the need to have every answer. In this episode we rest instead in something the Buddha and the old Zen teachers understood well: that peace does not come from having all the answers, but from no longer needing them. Over the next few hours, as we prepare for sleep, we will move gently through the teachings and stories of Buddhism and Zen on the art of letting go of knowing. We sit with the relief of "don't know mind," the freedom of holding our opinions lightly, and the deep ease that opens when we stop forcing life to make sense on our terms. Midnight Monk is a quiet space for rest, reflection, and inner peace, a night library of original long-form teachings rooted in the wisdom of Buddhism and Zen. Find a comfortable place to settle. Let your shoulders soften. There is nothing to figure out tonight, and nowhere to be but here. Original script researched and written by Midnight Monk. ✨🧘🌙
