He began monastic life at the age of 9 under the guidance of Choktrul Kadag Rinpoche, and at the age of 16 entered Larung Tarig College of Lharung Gar Monastery in Serta, Kham, Tibet, where studied with his root lama, the great Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok as well as other important masters of the arts and sciences of Buddhist civilization. He studied the vast canon of sutra and tantra as well as Tibetan grammar, poetics, and history.
