The Superhuman Life of Gesar of Ling

The Superhuman Life of Gesar of Ling

Albert Arthur Yongden
4.2/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
King
Gesar, renowned throughout Tibet and Central Asia, represents the ideal
warrior—the principle of all-victorious confidence. As the central force of
sanity, he conquers all his enemies, the evil forces of the four directions,
who turn people's minds away from the true teachings of Buddhism. These enemies
graphically represent the different manifestations of cowardly mind.

As
Chögyam Trungpa explains in the Foreword:

"When
we talk here about conquering our enemy, it is important to understand that we
are not talking about aggression. The genuine warrior does not become resentful
or arrogant . . . It is absolutely necessary for the warrior to subjugate his
own ambition to conquer at the same time that he is subjugating his other more
obvious enemies. Thus the idea of warriorship altogether is that by facing all
our enemies fearlessly, with gentleness and intelligence, we can develop
ourselves thereby attaining self-realization."

The
legends of Gesar usually take weeks for a bard to recount. Filled with magic,
adventure, and the triumphs of this great warrior-king, the stories will
delight all—young and old alike.
