In olden
days it is extremely difficult to get teachings from renowned Lama as they
dwell in far away places. Nevertheless devoted Students from Bhutan take
extreme hardship and go to locate their teacher in Tibet. On the way they were
subjected to unending violence, robbery etc. Still they managed to find their
teacher and get teaching. Some of these students include, His Holiness Lama Tenzin
Jamtsho, His Holiness Je Geshey Gedun Rinchen, and His Holiness Lama Serpo
Rinpoche.

On returning
after completion of their studies they come easily due to strong personnel
letter issued by their respective teachers. They were also handed over to the wisdom-sighted
dharma protectors for protection.
This was the
Letter written by Gyelse Gyurmed Dorji Rinpoche (Lama Serpo’s root teacher) for
the safety of Lama Serpo ( Rigdzing Pelden Rinpoche) on his way from Tibet
to Bhutan.
“The subjects of Dharma King of
Dege Province and up to the boarder of Bhutan heed this letter.
My disciple and Lama along with
his attendants are on their way. Please assist them with whatever necessity
they need. I entrusted them to the Dharma Protectors to guide and protect them
from all threats and harm that may befall them, so support them in the
enhancement of spiritual advancement.
In case, if they were robbed,
teased, imprisoned or troubled in whatever form, the accused will be cursed and
exposed to death by the wisdom-sighted dharma protectors.
Therefore, I advocate all to act
accordingly.’
