diary from the Producer
When my master Yongzhu Tashi Rinpoche was still alive, I often expressed my exhaustion to him, believing that the most glorious days of my life were behind me. However, he repeatedly emphasized that I still had many things to accomplish and should set greater aspirations to achieve better spiritual practice.
Honestly, for an ordinary person, even if they make such aspirations, can they truly believe they can achieve them? Without my master’s guidance, I wouldn’t be who I am today. This is an undeniable fact.
After my master passed away, I realized that it was my responsibility to continue his unfinished work.

Source of wisdom
The "Epic of King Gesar" is indeed renowned for its rich layers of wisdom, encapsulated within the adventures and trials of its hero, King Gesar. it serves as a multifaceted source of wisdom, offering insights that are applicable to personal development, leadership, conflict resolution, and spiritual growth.
Take passage from Chapter 5 as an example:
Without failth, blessing cannot be received
Without fortune, wealth cannot be gained
Without farming, crops cannot grow
Without effort, success cannot be achieved

Update for 2 new locations
Over the past week, I have successfully updated information on two key locations related to King Gesar: Guomariz Castle and the Qinghai Tibetan Culture Museum. These updates are part of my ongoing efforts to enrich the resources available for those interested in exploring the legendary tales and cultural significance of King Gesar. Both locations play a pivotal role in preserving and showcasing the rich heritage associated with this iconic figure. Stay tuned for more updates as I continue to delve deeper into the fascinating world of King Gesar.

Busy but happy（Posted 3 March 2025）
The period following the Chinese New Year has brought a significant increase in my workload, yet this has not deterred my dedication to promoting the culture of King Gesar. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to spread awareness of this rich aspect of Tibetan heritage. It is my hope that by sharing the stories and values associated with King Gesar, I can contribute to a broader global appreciation of this fascinating culture.

The children are not pitiable (Posted at 9 Feb 2025)
The children are not pitiable; you are the ones to be pitied.
Many years ago, our master led us to support education efforts in remote location, and we would always look at the children with a sense of pity because the resources were so scarce. Some would even comment on how the school somehow had a TV despite the lack of supplies. But the teacher said firmly: 'The children are not pitiable; you are the ones to be pitied.'
Suddenly, I felt a wave of realization within me, and I understood.

Way of encouraging (Posted at 13 Feb 2025)
from small sketch to logo
Many years ago, my master gave me a small sketch of King Gesar. I didn’t understand its meaning at the time. When I was building this website, I happened to need a logo, so I reached out to a creative director I had been collaborating with to design a logo based on it. Perhaps this was my master’s way of encouraging me.

The 2nd day of chinese new year (Posted at 3 Feb 2025)

The second day of the Chinese Lunar New Year is called "Open day" in cantonese, marking an important day that symbolizes the official beginning of the new year. Although waking up at 6:30 AM meant missing the sunrise, looking up and seeing the magnificent sight of a great roc spreading its wings was undoubtedly uplifting. This wondrous moment felt like a good omen, signaling a year full of hope and strength ahead.
With such a good mood and anticipation, 2025 is sure to be a fulfilling and wonderful year with blessing from Rinpoche.

Somtime It took a while to identify the statue.
In traditional depictions, Acala a wrathful deity and one of the Five Wisdom Kings, is typically shown holding a sword in his right hand and a lasso (or rope) in his left hand.

Acala is considered the wrathful manifestation of Vairocana Buddha (also known as Mahavairocana, the cosmic Buddha, who is the reward body of Shakyamuni Buddha).

In Loving Memory of Yongzhu Tashi Rinpoche
The spring breeze and rain warm my heart within, A lifetime of care, silent and deep.
It’s your steadfast and loving gaze, That teaches me courage to face the waves.
You remind me to relax, yet never give in, How can I ever repay your kindness fully? Your boundless love is beyond compare, Please let me earnestly say, “I love you.”

The Statue of Milarepa
When establishing Yong’s Gallery (in the name of Yongzhu Rinpoche), the most challenging part was identifying the Buddha statues' origins, craftsmanship, and age. Experts in this field are incredibly hard to find. Fortunately, among the Rinpoches I know, one is highly knowledgeable, which made the identification process much easier.

Katok Monastery
During the cold winter, in order to fulfill a wish I made at the beginning of the year, I went to Katok Monastery for three days to receive a oral transmission of King Gesar . The monastery was on winter break, and a friend took me to visit the local sacred mountain. At that moment, an idea struck me, and I decided to create this website. After returning to Hong Kong, I immediately purchased the domain name kinggesar.com for HKD 60,000.
