Korean Legends Before Sleep: A Martyrdom of White Milk, and a King Who Forbade Killing

Welcome to Slow Night, Ancient Tales. Tonight we bring you two stories from Iryeon's Samguk Yusa. First, the tale of King Beopheung of Silla, who wished to establish Buddhism in his kingdom, and the young official Yeomchok, who gave his own life to make it possible. Then, the story of King Beop of Baekje, who forbade killing throughout his realm and built a temple in its honor. Quiet sacrifice and gentle compassion, in service of faith, make for a calm companion for falling asleep. 🌙 Recommended for you if you: - Love the Samguk Yusa and classic Korean legends - Are interested in stories touching on Buddhist history - Want to drift off to sleep with calm narration ⏰ Timeline 00:00 Opening 00:36 Narration 08:25 Closing #sleepaudio #samgukyusa #koreanlegend #buddhisthistory #fallasleeplistening #sleepstory #audiobook #healingradio #ancienttales #koreanfolklore
