King Gesar the manifestation of Guru Rinpoche.

King Gesar the manifestation of Guru

Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava, as a famous warrior king or general. Some people think of King Gesar as a famous warrior king or general, like Alexander the Great or the Chinese war gods. 

Others are of the opinion that King Gesar is primarily something like a     * terton * an individual blessed by Guru Rinpoche who manifests to benefit beings through that blessing. 

But the real nature of the manifestation we know as King Gesar is actually that of Guru Rinpoche himself appearing in the form of a ** drala ** legendary warrior king who is invoked as a protector of the teachings.

* Terton * 

A revealer of spiritual treasures (terma) hidden by Guru Rinpoche and Yeshe Tsogyal for the benefit of future generations.

** Drala ** 

A dynamically active non-human beings inhabiting the air element, who are usually invisible to ordinary human perception. They form the retinue and agents of Gesar and are usually portrayed as wild, fearless warriors on horseback.

Nagarjuna's Dedication of Merit

Kye ga na chi'i ba lab thrug pa yi 

Si pa'i tso lay dro war drol war shog.

By this merit may we obtain omniscience then.

Having defeated the enemies wrong-doings.
