The first and only English translation of the centuries-old Tibetan spiritual allegory of King Gesar, a tale on a par withThe Arabian Nights or the King Arthur stories.For hundreds of years, versions of the Gesar of Ling epic have been sung by bards in Tibet, China, Central Asia, and across the eastern Silk Route. King Gesar, renowned throughout these areas, represents the ideal warrior. As a leader with his people's loyalty and trust, he conquers all their enemies and protects the peace.
