The Fistfight is Over

Venerable Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Venerable Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche


A poem by Frank Ryan, written on the occasion of the 22nd Parinirvana of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche


Fistfight is Over

Beyond coming or going
our deepest longing and tender love.

The fistfight is over.

Now waltzing with phenomena
which never strays
from the expanse of your vast smile.
For all of us who fret
that we’ve missed so much,
we discover you in nowness
spotless on the top shelf of the spice rack
