Drift into deep, peaceful sleep with timeless Zen stories and gentle Buddhist wisdom, softly told over calming music.

If your mind races the moment your head touches the pillow, replaying conversations and worrying about tomorrow, this audiobook offers a gentler way to end the day. No techniques to master and no beliefs required. Just a soothing voice, a quiet story and permission to let go.

Each of the thirteen nights pairs a classic tale, such as the overflowing teacup, the farmer who only said "maybe" and the ancient ox-herding pictures, with a modern story set in the world you actually live in, from a crowded commuter train to a hospital night shift.

What you will experience each night:

• Slow, Soothing Narration: A gentle voice paced for sleep, with long restful pauses over a soft music bed.
• Classic Zen Tales Retold: Beloved stories from the Zen and early Buddhist traditions, told with warmth and rich sensory detail.
• Modern Koans: Original stories that bring ancient insight to everyday stress, work and relationships.
• Guided Settling: Simple breathing and body-softening moments that ease you out of the day and into rest.
• Wisdom You Can Keep: Calm, practical teachings on letting go, impermanence and beginner's mind.

Press play, close your eyes and let the stories carry you. If you fall asleep before the chapter ends, the book is working exactly as it should.
