He took refuge from him and received the Palyul traditional practice of Ngondro, Tsa Lung and Dzogchen from the Namcho cycle. From His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Khen Rinpoche also received teachings on the Nyintig Great Perfection Practices of Trekcho and Togyal. Khen Rinpoche received many profound transmissions from His Holiness Penor Rinpoche, His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche and many others great Tibetan masters. Khen Rinpoche has thoroughly studied, researched and mastered the Tibetan Studies that cover the vast and profound teachings of Lord Buddha (both Sutra and Tantra), as well as the common studies of Tibetan language, poetry and history. Khen Rinpoche joined Ngagyur Nyingma Institute at Namdroling Monastery and completed his studies, having mastered the Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana philosophies. He is a highly qualified Buddhist scholar and senior professor of the Nyingma Institute. Upon the attainment of these, Khen Rinpoche went to Shechen Monastery and conducted Buddhist teachings, over a period of four years. He was the first Khenpo in the Institute of Shechen Monastery in Nepal. During the big Drubchen puja at Shechen Monastery, Khen Rinpoche received a Khenpo hat from His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche as a great blessing. In a poem written by His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, he prophesied that Khen Rinpoche would be of great benefit to sentient beings everywhere and he wrote his long-life prayer.
