Chapter Narrating the Pure Vision of Gesar

The Fifth Lelung Rinpoche, Zhepai Dorje (1697–1740), is unusual among senior Gelug figures for having taken a personal interest in the figure of Gesar of Ling, eponymous hero of the Tibetan epic. The text translated here narrates his ‘pure vision’ (dag snang) of Gesar, which took place near his monastic seat at Lelung, in Olga, in 1729. Please see the full abstract in the note section of the translation.
