Описание: The Gesar epic encompasses a vast range of ancient Central Asian cultural and spiritual traditions. At its center, Gesar, King of Ling battles tirelessly in a world riven by greed, confusion, fear, and religious ambition to open pathways to an enlightened society. The Warrior Song of King Gesar follows the unbroken heritage of that warrior tradition and presents the saga of Gesars life, from the hardships of his youth through his great battles against the demonic enemies of the four directions. This ever evolving epic tradition continues to inspire people in diverse societies by showing that, despite failures, an unsparing spiritual journey is integral to a secular life and that, despite defeats, such a quest is inseparable from working towards true social harmony. The Venerable Tulku Thondups introduction is uniquely valuable for its profound scholarship and contains the only account in English of King Gesars mind teachings. * I hope that the wisdom, imagination, and humor with which Douglas Penick has conveyed both Gesars story and the energy of his being will rouse unconditional confidence throughout the world. Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, head of Shambhala International, author of Making the Mind into an Ally, and Ruling Your World. The Warrior Song of King Gesar maintains traditional Asian epic genres and conventions while simultaneously transforming them into a completely contemporary vehicle of expression. The book captures in a remarkable way the nomadic warrior traditions from which Gesars inner life emerged while uncovering the personal reality hidden within them. This work then is not a re-telling of the Gesar saga, but an authentic continuation of that tradition which thus becomes available to modern audiences in new and provocative ways.
