Many people stayed in the monastery to perform Buddhist activities. He settled down with his father. From a young age, he had a good interest in Buddhism and did not give up his monastic attire. From the age of ten (lower part, 417), he diligently studied reading. Not long after that, he relied on the lotus feet of Karma Chakme, the speech son of Zhamar Chokyi Wangchuk, the debater of the worldly自在 Gyalwa Karmapa Padma Raga. For Karma Chakme, he listened to and contemplated the Dharma teachings of the ocean of precepts, and especially when practicing meditation guidance, he meditated single-mindedly in a quiet place. From twenty-one days, the clear light mingled day and night, and the good experience of bliss, clarity, and non-thought arose effortlessly. After that, he again stayed in front of the supreme master and listened to most of the empowerments and transmissions of the treasure teachings such as the peaceful, increasing, powerful, and wrathful practices of Rerna Lama, Vajrakila, Nyang's Black Horse, and Karma Lingpa's peaceful and wrathful deities. At that time, Karma Chakme Rinpoche's own mind was also elevated. He said to the realized Pema Rigdzin, "When I transmitted many teachings, my mind was also elevated, and the Dharma and mind became one." It is said. At this time, he asked the master to observe which of the tutelary deity Mahakarunika and Padmasambhava was better to practice. The venerable himself also observed through dreams, and a portrait of Orgyen (Padmasambhava) appeared in the dream, thinking that it would be better to practice Orgyen. Chakme Rinpoche also observed the practice of the tutelary deity, and the result of practicing Orgyen also appeared. Therefore, he worked hard to practice the peaceful heart essence of the tutelary deity Rerna. Through recitation and practice, he reached the top of stacking stupas, and it is said that he also saw Orgyen Rinpoche in his mind. The number of recitations exceeded two million (lower part, 418), and the number of recitations for the common accomplishment of the rainbow body was one million, twenty million, and seven hundred and twenty thousand. In addition, he also practiced Tummo and dark retreat and other practices many times for a long time. By refining the key points of the generation and completion stage, and the subtle energies, the signs such as smoke appeared, and it is said that sometimes two breaths could be completed in six days. In addition, the experience of these great things, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas appeared on the path.
