This is a famous epic circulated in Tibet and Central Asia, called "The Legend of King Gesar". The epic is considered one of the longest epics in the world, with six hundred thousand lines of verse, even surpassing India's Mahabharata and Ramayana.

The protagonist of the story, King Gesar, is the king of Ling State. He is regarded as a legendary hero, shouldering the mission of subduing demons and protecting the people. According to legend, he was a hero sent to the human world by the gods in heaven to quell the chaos and evil forces in Tibet at that time. His adventures include conquering an evil king, rescuing his captive wife, and establishing peace and order.

This epic is not only a heroic story, but also integrates the teachings and cultural values ​​of Tibetan Buddhism, and has a profound influence on Tibetan culture. Its origin may be related to the period when Buddhism was introduced to Tibet for the second time, and different versions are also circulated in Mongolia, Bhutan and other places.
