In 1969 he entered CIHTS at Sarnath, where he followed a nine-year curriculum in Buddhist studies and graduated with the degree of Acharya in 1978. After graduation he was invited to teach at Palyul Namdroling Monastery in South India, where for several years, he taught at the Ngagyur Nyingma Institute.
