Conquering is arduous,
Discipline is endless...
May the wisdom of the Rigdens be with you on this occasion.

Drawing on the archive of unpublished poems of the Dorje Dradul, Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche, Royal Songs is the second volume in a continuing series embodying themes in the Dorje Dradul's life and work. This volume brings together fifteen poems on the theme of Shambhala. It was first offered in celebration of the auspicious occasion of the enthronment of the second Sakyong of the contemporary Shambhala lineage, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, 14 May 1995. The poetry has been printed in portfolio format, unbound sheets gathered in a hardcover case, that facilitates holding the poems individually in one's hand to be read aloud. The book features a purple linen cover embossed with a gold scorpion on the front and gold lettering on the spine.
