At the age of 18, in [R:197] the year Iron-Ape (lcags spre—1260 A.D.) he obtained the doctrine of snying thig from seng ge dbon po at seng ge rgyab. He practiced meditation, and during six days he had a vision, by day and by night, of Vajrasattva. During the initiation ceremony, he met in a dream the Teachers of his Spiritual Lineage, and obtained (their) blessing. At the age of 23, he obtained many hidden precepts (gter chos) such as the Vajravārahī (rdo rje phag mo) and others, from sangs rgyas ras pa. He had a vision of Vajravārahī.
