Buddhist Mythology: Bedtime Stories

This is Buddhist Mythology Bedtime Stories: Tales of Enlightenment, written by Anant Haran and narrated by Cassandra Morris. In a world that often moves too quickly, where rest is interrupted by worry and the noise of daily life never truly fades, these stories are offered as a gentle pause. They are not merely bedtime tales but guiding lights drawn from centuries of Buddhist tradition, each one carrying lessons that settle the mind and inspire the heart. From the birth of Siddhartha beneath auspicious signs to the moment of his Parinirvana beneath the sal trees, the journey of the Buddha has been retold across cultures, reminding us that compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom are the true treasures of human life.

A special thanks to the monks, storytellers, and guardians of memory who carried these tales through generations, preserving them not as relics but as living wisdom. Gratitude also extends to the countless readers and listeners who have found in these stories a reminder that the search for peace is not a distant goal but a daily practice. To my family and friends, who supported the long hours of writing and research, and to the production team who worked tirelessly to bring these words to life with clarity and warmth—thank you for making this book possible.

And most importantly, to you, the listener: thank you for opening your heart to these stories. Each tale you hear is more than history or myth; it is an invitation to breathe deeply, to reflect, and to find stillness as the day closes. Let these narratives guide you gently into rest, leaving you not only soothed but awakened to the quiet truth that compassion is the path, mindfulness is the lamp, and peace is always within reach. This is Buddhist Mythology Bedtime Stories: Tales of Enlightenment.
