Around the age of fourteen, his uncle the great Jalupa sent him to study under Khenpo Thubga (Thupten Chophel), and Poba Tulku Dongak Tenpei Nyima. Studying under Khenpo Thubga for little more than a year, Rinpoche took his novice monk vows from this master. Then spenting the better part of a decade, he studied the entire heritage of philosophical, practical and meditational works of Lord Jamgon Mipham Namgyal Gyamtso, from his Lord of Refuge, Kunzik Dongak Tenpei Nyima.

Later in exile, after having become the heir to the vast spiritual lineage of Mipham Rinpoche and Dongak Tenpei Nyima, Rinpoche became one of the most sought after Khenpos of the Nyingma school. In fact had it not be for his amazing knowledge and insights to the viewpoints of Mipham's work, Rinpoche would have happily spent his years in retreat in the caves and later the heritage he and his main student Khenpo Konchog Monlam built in the Pagan valley of northern India.
