He has been a vegetarian and studied Buddhism with his parents since he was 6 years old. He has taken refuge in many great elders, such as: Monk Xingyun, Monk Weijue, Master Shengyan, Master Huifa, Master Xingdao, Master Shidai… In elementary school, I participated in Buddhist summer camps organized by various monasteries every winter and summer vacation. In the summer vacation of the year I graduated from elementary school, I participated in the first short-term ordination program held by Theravada Buddhism in Taiwan and became a novice monk for a month.

I got to know my master, Kathok Rinchen Chenge Rinpoche, through a chance encounter. I immediately gained confidence and accepted the teachings of Manjusri the Lion. Although I was still in the first grade of junior high school at the time, I would go to Taipei or Kaohsiung every weekend. The center attends Dharma meetings and receives various sutra and secret teachings from the guru.

Although he passed the recommendation examination and was admitted to Taichung No. 1 Middle School, he followed his master’s instructions and gave up studying. He went to Arizha, Shiqu County, Eastern Tibet, where he became a novice monk under Khenchen Pema Tsewang Rinpoche and began to study Tibetan Buddhism. Literary and monastic rituals.

Due to visa issues, I returned to Taiwan just as the master was building the Miaoyen Dharma Garden and organizing the first long-term retreat, so I came to participate in the grand event and guard the temple together, and participated in the first-year course and retreat for 108 days.

At the request of the master, he returned to Arizha for the second time to receive the Great White Umbrella Buddha’s empowerment and the White Tara empowerment from Khenchen Pema Tsewang Rinpoche.

By chance, I got to know Ngawang Rinpoche, the abbot of Nyingma Monastery in Awantsang Township, Maqu County. At the Buddhist academy of the temple, I studied “The Theory of Entrance”, “The Precious Lamp Wheel of Dingjie” and “The Precious Lamp Wheel” with Lodro Khenpo. “Book of Relatives and Friends”, “Two Rules of Instructions”, “Thirty Verses on Tibetan Grammar”, “Introduction to the Wise Man” and other treatises.

In December of the same year, he went to India for the second time to meet with his guru Shadza and received the Dharma transmission of the thirteen deities and Vajrasattva. Then he went to Bodh Gaya to spend a month to complete 100,000 prostrations. In February 2006, he arrived in Dharamsala.

Returning to the Guru’s hometown – Mula Monastery, he stayed in peace for the summer. During this period, he listened to Khenpo Chadha preaching on “Reciting the Three Jewels Sutra” and won the second place in the written examination of Mula Monastery. After the summer retreat, he went to the monastery of Danbu Living Buddha in Jiuzhi County, Qinghai Province. For more than a month, he received the entire oral transmission of the Tripitaka “Ganyur”.

Following the instructions of his master, he studied five major treatises in the Tibetan class of Larung Gar Buddhist College in Serdar, namely, Yin Ming, Vinaya, Prajna, Madhyamaka, and Kusha. Among them, the Prajna class ranked second in the annual examination. Setting a record in the history of Larung Gar College as the first Han Chinese to pass the examination in Tibetan language.
