At an early age, he learned basic Buddhist literature and detailed Terser Ngoendro from Yab Rinpoche. Later on, he went to Assam Rangapara under His Holiness Lhodrak Terton Kuenzang Dechen Lingpa Rinpoche. There he started with: Nyingthik Ngoendro preliminaries; practice on the words of my perfect teacher; Meditation on Lama Yidam and Khandro; and teachings on the precious Choeying Rinpoche Zoed. Also, he practiced intensively on Nyingthik Dzogchen Rigpai Tselwang, Choeying Rinpoche Dzoed and Dzongchen teachings.
Thereafter, according to the words of his thankful teacher, he went for a three year retreat at Massang Tsholingpang, Rupa, Arunachal Pradesh. For a few years after the retreat, he served there as an administrator where his service was recognized by Rinpoche. Later, coming back home, he was given the responsibility of teaching the 4th group of meditators of Phagchok Drupdey Sangag Choe-Ling by his father. By doing so, he once again went through all the vital practices of H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche like Terchoe-Phurpai Noendro, Tsa-Thig-Lung Sum, Dzogchen Nang-jang, etc.
In the year 2000, he received complete blessings and initiation from H.H. Terton Rinpoche on the rituals and practices discovered by him. Among these practices, he picked the practice of Droloe and went on retreat for a few months to meditate on it. Later, when he was appointed as the teacher of the 6th group of meditators, he spent five years of his life meditating on Phurpa while he taught the new practitioners basic skills of meditation practices.
