Summary:
"King
Gesar
was not an ordinary human being but rather a manifestation of the enlightened activity of all the buddhas, brought forth by the strength of their great compassion at a time of despair in the
land
of
Tibet
. Dating from the ninth century and with versions originating in many of the countries of Asia,
Gesar
's story paints a detailed picture of the culture and life of the time. In this reflective and sometimes humorous retelling, David Shapiro shares the epic
tale
of
Gesar
's birth, his rather rambunctious and troublesome early years, and his eventual ascendancy to become a heroic legend and leader of
Tibet
. It is filled with the ancient folk wisdom of
Tibet
and the guidance of Buddhism, relayed through proverbs, prose, and verse. It is a coming of age story and an epic
tale
that has the power to change one's mind."--Publisher.
