Korean Legends Before Sleep: An Old Grudge Reborn to Topple a Kingdom

Welcome to Slow Night, Ancient Tales. Tonight we bring you a mysterious legend from Iryeon's Samguk Yusa. As King Bojang, the last ruler of Goguryeo, sought to elevate Daoism within his kingdom, a monk named Bodeok sensed the danger this posed to the nation's future. Ignored by the king, he is said to have lifted his own hermitage into the sky and carried it far to the south. Woven alongside this legend is the tale of an old grudge, reborn generations later, said to have finally brought the kingdom to ruin. These ancient legends make for a calm companion for falling asleep. 🌙 Recommended for you if you: - Love the Samguk Yusa and classic Korean legends - Are drawn to mysterious, prophetic old stories - Want to drift off to sleep with calm narration #sleepaudio #samgukyusa #koreanlegend #goguryeo #fallasleeplistening #sleepstory #audiobook #healingradio #ancienttales #koreanfolklore
