2 Hours Buddhist Sleep Stories | The Buddha and the Devas
Buddhist Insights Journey
67,375 views
In this video, you will hear 10 powerful stories from the ancient Pali Canon — stories of devas and Brahmās who descended from their heavenly realms to seek the Buddha's wisdom. You will meet a great celestial king who questioned whether his perfect happiness was truly happiness at all. You will witness a celestial maiden whose beauty became an attachment she needed to release. You will see a Brahmā who followed a false teacher, and found his way back. And you will stand in the grove at Kusinārā as celestial beings from ten directions gathered in silence to witness the final moments of the Buddha's life.
These are not fairy tales. These are real encounters — recorded in the oldest Buddhist texts — between the Awakened One and beings from every realm of existence. And each story carries the same message: the Dhamma is not limited to any one world. It is available to all who seek.
This video is completely free of ads. No interruptions. Just the stories to help you rest.
Sources: All stories are retold from the Pali Canon — Saṃyutta Nikāya (The Linked Discourses), Dīgha Nikāya (The Long Discourses), and related early Buddhist texts.

Thank you again. just a thought
If there are some who have accumulated good deeds for so many life times, they do not need the Buddha reach nirvana.
This first story is diluted if not just a wive tale.
