The Bliss of Letting Go... Calming Zen Tales & Buddhism for Sleep & Peace

Tonight, as we prepare for sleep, we stop reaching. Through Buddhist teachings and Zen stories, we explore the Buddha's quiet discovery that peace is not something you go out and find. It is what is already here when the grasping settles down.This is a slow episode for the late hours. We move through teachings on letting go, the daily cycle of building up and falling apart, the habit of wanting to be elsewhere, and the simple practice of meeting life as it arrives. Designed for deep rest, gentle listening, and sleep. No prior knowledge of Buddhism or meditation is needed. Just settle in, close your eyes if you like, and let the words carry you.If this brought you some peace, you are welcome to follow the show for more long-form audio like this, and share it with anyone who could use a quieter night.Original script written and produced by Midnight Monk. 🧘🌙
