Right after this, he began his traditional education in writing, calligraphy, poetry, astrology, [[mandala]] painting, spiritual practice and text recitation. At the same time, the young Adeu Rinpoche also received many teachings, Tantra and oral pith-instructions based on the old and new traditions but primarily on the [[Drukpa]] lineage from the Eighth Choegon Rinpoche, [[Jamyang Khyentse]] Rinpoche and many other great masters. Right after this, Rinpoche entered into a seven-year retreat, when he carried out many spiritual practices based on different deities and on the skilful trainings of the [[prana]] and [[bindu]], such as the [[Six Yogas of Naropa]] and the liberating [[Mahamudra]] mind-training practices. He was also learning philosophy. Adeu Rinpoche later wrote a precise commentary on the three groups of precepts, the root of heart-essence of [[Nyingma]]pa lineage, and on the various [[mandala]] deities.

Adeu Rinpoche is an extremely important master of the [[Drukpa]] lineage, especially after the Cultural Revolution, when many great [[Drukpa]] lineage masters had passed away.

Expanded Biography:
In the beginning of 1990, Adeu Rinpoche also gave a complete initiation of the Drukpa lineage to the local reincarnate masters in [[Nangchen]]. About 51 reincarnate tulkus and 1,600 monks and nuns were present to receive the initiation and oral transmission. In this way, Adeu Rinpoche became the main lineage master of the [[Khampa Drukpa]] tradition for all the Drukpa tulkus. Thereafter, Adeu Rinpoche went to [[Bhutan]] and exchanged initiations with [[Je Khenpo]], Jigme Chodrak Rinpoche, [[Dilgo Khyentse]] Rinpoche and many other enlightened masters, thus becoming a representative of the Drukpa lineage.
