From a young age without prejudice in his mind devotion, renunciation, loving-kindness, compassion and all other virtues thoughts blossomed.  While still a youth, from the great master 5th [[Dzogchen Rinpoche]] he received the read transmission for the glorious supplication of the [[Bodhisattva]] [[Kshitigarbha]].

At the age of 10 in 1892, he entered the glourious [[Ngagyur Nyingma]]’s monastery of Tashi Chödar Ling, where he exerted great effort in studying ritual during the feast gatherings. Then later on he went to [[Do Rinpoche]]’s Tri Dargye Jamchen Chökor Ling, all the while receiving whatever appropriate teaching from which authentic masters he was karmicly destined too, like Khartrul Tenpe Nyima, Meshug Kalzang and Geshe Phende. When he was 15, at the feet of the great spiritual guides [[Minyak Kunzang Sönam]] and Thubten Chökyi Drakpa and the community of monks, he took the formal ceremony for become a renunciate by means of the precepts for a novice-monk, and was then given his dharma name.

When he was about 25, he received the perfect and complete lineage of precepts for a fully ordained Bhikshu, and from then on, he strictly abided by the precepts and carefully avoided violations as if protecting his own eyes. Once he began studying the "[[The Thirty Verses]]" a Tibetan grammar commentary and the rest of the authoritative text by the master, [[Manjushri]] in person, the omniscient [[Jamgön Mipham]], the birth of impartial wisdom and true experience and realization began to take root. Around the age of 30, after having taken the Glorious [[Khenpo Zhenga]] as the ornamental jewel on the crown of his head, he began studying the common vehicles and the stages of Mind Training. Once he had perfected these fields of knowledge, he progressed to the topics of [[Madhyamakakarika]] and the “[[Collections of Reasoning]]” by [[Nagarjuna]], and the rest of his works. He studied the [[Madhyamakavatara]]; the “[[Four Hundred Verse of the Middle Way]]”; the “[[Ornament of the Middle Way]]”; the “[[Engaging in Bodhisattva Conduct]]”; the higher-[[Mahayana]] and lower-[[Hinayana]] [[Abhidharma]]s and the “[[Five Treatises of Maitreya]]”. He studied the sutras and root sutra;  all the thirteen major philosophical texts and their auxiliary teachings, for all of the great Indian commentaries he received detailed instructions.

From the most profound and secret of dharmas, the Wishfulfilling Jewel of the [[Lama Yangtig]], he received the explanational transmission, along with infinite instruction of the sutras and tantras, from his master. From the 5th [[Dzogchen Rinpoche Thubten Chökyi Dorje]] he obtained the empowerment for the root tantra of the [[Anuyoga]], the “[[Scripture of the Great Assemblage]]”, as well as all the maturing instructions for the Wishing vase, the [[Nyingtig Yabzhi]] from [[Drimè Özer]]’s [[Vima Nyingtig]]. At that moment of the initiation when empowerment is granted, as if the master and student were inseparable, their minds’ mingled as one, he experienced in that moment, true wisdom beyond the concept of Guru and disciple. Thus, he studied extensively by relying on the multitudes of wise and accomplished lords from all the schools of [[Sakya]], [[Geluk]], [[Kagyu]] and [[Nyingma]], obtaining pith instructions, ripening empowerments and authoritative transmissions from such master as, [[Chadrel Kunga Palden]], [[Khenpo Pema Thegchog Loden]], [[Abu Lhagang]], and [[Khenpo Jigmè Lodro]].

Commonly practiced throughout all of the different traditions and sub-lineages of the [[Nyingma]] and [[Kagyu]] it is arguably the greatest of Guru Padmasambhava sadhanas. With dozens of adaptations and commentaries written by the greatest of masters throughout Tibet, Bhutan and even Nepal, [[Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo]], [[Karma Chagme Rinpoche]], [[Palpung Situ Pema Nyinje]], [[Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye]], [[Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche]] and many more. "[[Union of the Three Jewels]]", "[[Unification of the Three Precious Jewels]]", "[[Unification of All Rare and Precious Jewels]]’’ (Lama Chokyi Nyima); these are some of the other title translations I've seen.[BL]

During the long periods of cultivation and investigation of the dharmas he had obtained, and initiations he had received, he demonstrated many times and in many ways, his above normal character and superlative wisdom. Khedrub Tsewang Rigdzin cultivated ascetic practices, in mountains retreat and living conditions that for most ordinary people would have proven fetal. His ascetic practices should be regarded as a true illustration and model among all yogins, as to how devotion, diligences and determination in the Buddhist practices of austerities can culminate in the attainment of [[Buddhahood]] within a single life time.

His every meal, he ate just a little roasted barley flour with water. Such thin soups made it possible for a small bag of roasted barley flour to last for even a whole year. He lived such a life that he often had no oil for lamps, whereby he could only study if sitting under the moonlight exposed to the elements. During the nights when there was no moonlight, he would use the incredibly dim ambers from his cooking stove, as light enough to read. For the great adept, sleeping at night had almost been completely substituted by meditation. On one occasion the master himself [[Guru Rinpoche]] appeared in a vision, after that he encountered great discrimination, able to memorize and recite sutras as long as 24,000 words.

During this level of austerities, he would often not eat for days and experience long exposure to ice and snow, ultimately suffered permanent damage to his feet, requiring the aid of two walking sticks just to get around.

Some parts more or less are direct translations of pieces from these three bios. Jalupa Tsewang Rigdzin’s death is a story onto itself, thus if you wish to know the details along with some of the miracles he perform during his life, there is a link below to a rough translation of the investigation done by the Serta Khenpo. Also he publish a book combining Khenpo Tsewang’s and [[Khenpo Achu]]’s stories as well as a DVD of his investigation on Mewa Khenpo’s flight.''[BL]
