In his modern rendition of this ancient tale, Penick recounts the unbroken heritage of spiritual warriorship embodied by the life of the enlightened warrior-sage Gesar, King of Ling. Recreated by visionary bards of Central Asia for centuries, the Gesar story dramatizes the struggle to overcome the obstacles on the path to finding true freedom.

“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 Gesar’s inner life emerged while uncovering the personal reality which is 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.”
