Thus, a son was born to Mrs. and Mr. Sonam Dorjee after this auspicious dream. The mother named her son “the Gifted Son”.When his parents took the little boy on a pilgrimage to Lhasa, even though he was only one and half year, he was able to recite Tibetan letter “Ka”. At the age of nine his own father started teaching him how to read and Tibetan. He was proving to be a very clever, intelligent boy. So, his parents decided to put him into a Monastery.

His understanding of the Buddhist Scripture was such good that even at this time he was learned enough to teach others.

During the class of ” Central Path ” (Uma)” he was so good in memorizing that in addition to whatever the general requirement to memorize, he had memorized thousands of additional scriptures by heart and used to stand first among his classmates for many years.

He received his endoctrines at most of the holy places, thus he has tried to put this in writing mainly to keep the old tradition of recording the lectures he received but also to pay his respect and gratitude to his masters.

In the year 1964, as per the directives from H H the Dalai Lama he was one of the Resource Person in the Dharma Teachers, Teachers’ Training conducted at Musssorie, UP, India.

After this he joined and received the Acharya degree in Buddhist Philosophy from Banaras Hindu University, Sarnath.

His style of teaching was very simple, clear and precise to the point.

Unfortunately in 1986, he fell ill and since both Tibetan and Allopathic medicines could not give out any marked result he was shifted to Mundgod Gaden Monasery for further treatment and care. But again here also his health did not improve much, thus he was taken to a good Hospital in Delhi where he breathed his last on 17th April 1988.
