Sleep Story: Buddhist Philosophy for Deep Rest | Temple Sounds from Mount Koya


Listen Later

Description
A gentle sleep story inspired by Buddhist philosophy.
The first hour brings a soft spoken reflection — words designed to calm the breath and slow the mind.
The second hour continues with the night itself: insects singing around a temple in the forests of Mount Koya, Japan.

Let the rhythm of the voice and the sound of nature carry you into rest.
 This experience is shared through the GASSHO app, which offers meditations, sutra chants, and temple soundscapes to help you return to silence anytime, anywhere.

🕯 Duration: 2 hours (1h narration + 1h temple insects)
 📍 Location: Mount Koya, Japan — recorded at 金剛三昧院 (Kongō Sanmaiin Temple)
 📿 From the GASSHO App — a temple of sound and stillness

For meditation, sleep, or peaceful reflection. May this night bring you deep rest and quiet understanding.

We celebrate spirituality and wellbeing.
