About King Gesar
King Gesar (circa 1038–1119 AD) is a revered Tibetan hero born in Dege County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. A historical figure later deified through oral traditions, King Gesar is celebrated for unifying over 150 tribes in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River and the Yellow River.
King Gesar is also regarded as an incarnation of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), embodying wisdom, compassion, and power. His legacy is immortalized in the “Epic of King Gesar”, the longest heroic epic in the world, passed down through oral storytelling.
During his lifetime, King Gesar ended tribal conflicts, developed agriculture and animal husbandry, and brought peace and stability to the Tibetan people. He also promoted a more systematic form of Buddhism, integrating it into Tibetan culture and replacing the ancient Bon religion as the spiritual foundation.
