Gesar of Ling is the great 11th-century epic hero of Tibetan, Central Asian, and Himalayan cultures, who overcomes obstacles to and enemies of the Buddhist teachings. As a spiritual force, Gesar is a great Drala, a powerful elemental deity, “a natural force operating in the phenomenal world, and an aspect of our own pure awareness.” In the Buddhist tradition, Gesar is an emanation of the great Tantric master Guru Rinpoche. During these perilous and challenging times, the supplication and practice of Gesar is a source of bravery, fearlessness, compassion, and a dispeller of negative forces. Ringu Tulku Rinpoche is from the homeland of Gesar in Tibet and holds both spiritual and kinship connections to Gesar. In this course, Rinpoche will teach on Gesar’s life, culture, and these as a practice.
