From this great abbot, Tsongkhapa receives an infinite number of great teachings - amongst them, the secret instructions of String of Diamonds; the Six Yogas of Naropa; and the great seal, Mahamudra.2. Tsongkhapa travels to Gungtang, where he studies the eight branches of medical diagnosis with the great physician Lhadje Kon-chok Kyab. It is said that Tsongkhapa undertakes these medical studies as a symbolic act to show his pure dedication towards following the code of a Bodhisattva - in the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, it is mentioned that a Bodhisattva should train themselves in every useful art and science. Although Tsongkhapa mastered the subject perfectly, he never actually practised medicine but was highly regarded by every sage of the healing arts. It was said that every physician whoever attends to Tsongkhapa ends up seeking Tsongkhapa's advice instead, about the best possible treatment.3.

In Cho Dzong, the Sakya Lama Dampa Sonam Gyeltsen bestows on him the empowerment of Manjushri Arapatsana and the empowerment of the mandala of the Body of Heruka according to the tradition of the Indian sage Drilpupa (Ghantapada). Tsongkhapa's teacher hands his sage's cape to Tsongkhapa, signifying that he has passed on to him all the teachings of the tradition of Buton Rinchen Drub, his teacher.7. When he is 19 years old, he takes part in the philosophical debates of Sangphu monastery.8. He takes part in the philosophical debates of Dewachen monastery and his fame spreads.9. In Shalu the great Lotsawa Rinchen Namgyal, the famous student of Buton Rinchen Drub, grants him explanations on Heruka with the Thirteen Deities according to the tradition of Maitripa.10.
