Trashi Özer and other masters completed his education.
He was enthroned as the 15th Karmapa at Tsurphu Monastery when he was six years old. (Naher 2004, p 221) He went on to teach and give empowerments throughout Tibet and preserved many rare texts by having them reprinted. In 1898 he travelled to Bhutan, bestowing many transmissions.
On his return to Tibet, he took several consorts.
Among his closest students were the 11th Tai Situpa, Karma Jamyang Khyentsé Özer, and the First Beru Khyentse. A few years before he passed into parinirvana at the age of fifty-one, Khakhyap Dorjé entrusted a letter containing a prediction regarding his rebirth to an attendant.
