Lama Karma Kunzang was born to a wealthy family in Eastern Tibet (known as Sichuan, China). On his early age, he saw many disharmonies of life which make him realized that mundane happiness is so temporal, now you gain one then you loss all. Even famous actors and actresses who are often well dressed can not surpass the respect of people to Buddhist monk. Beauty on outer appearance does not last long since this world is impermanent. No one escape old age, sickness and death. If I am going to remain in this kind of living, he will surely not to have truth and lasting happiness. That's why he decided to become monk.

He was released through the help of Tibetan Exiled Government. He continuous his journey and finally reached Sherab Ling in India. He took his vow under His Eminence the 12th Tai Situ Rinpoche. He completed his three years three months and three days retreat at Lawa of Jamgon Rinpoche's monastery and become a certified Lama.
