-	Numerous lamas asked him to teach at their gompas. He taught at eight monasteries throughout Amdo, teaching twice a year at each. As well as time spent teaching, Lama Gönpo did extended retreats and received many transmissions from other masters, among which around 1950 was the [[Rinchen Terdzö]], from [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] at Rekong Gompa, at Shohong Lhaka (regarded as the actual palace of [[Chakrasamvara]]), in Amdo. Dilgo Khyentse had made the journey to Amdo with his family in order to give the [[Rinchen Terdzö]] at the request of his own guru [[Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö]] to a gathering of 1900 ngakpas.

-	In 1959, Lama Gönpo managed to escape from Tibet. Having arrived in India, Lama Gönpo steadfastly continued to teach the Dharma far and wide, and received numerous teachings from other exiled teachers. There, he wrote a compact edition of the [[The Words of My Perfect Teacher\|Kunzang Lamé Shyalung]]. To dispel obstacles, he did a three month retreat on [[Vajrakilaya]] at the residence of H.H. the [[Dalai Lama]]. At the end of his retreat the Dalai Lama presented him with an offering of a [[phurba]], a national treasure passed on from the great [[terton]] [[Nyang Ral Nyima Özer]] (1124–1192), the first of the [[five sovereign terma revealers]]. Much later, since no material object was important to him in the least unless it could serve the [[Dharma]], due to his foreknowledge, at the appropriate time before he departed for the [[Copper-Coloured Mountain]] in 1991, Lama Gönpo transferred this precious artifact to a generous benefactor and gave all of the large donations he received to help fund the community of nuns he was guiding in Amdo.	+	In 1959, Lama Gönpo managed to escape from Tibet.

	From 1967 to 1978, Lama Gönpo taught at the Nyingmapa Lamas College at Clement Town, Dehra Dun, India, teaching the entire range of the preliminary and advanced practices. Tashi Tsering, who is at present (2009) studying for his PhD at the University of British Columbia, wrote of Lama Gönpo's life at that time: "He lived next to our house in Mussoorie [near Clement Town], India, in the early to mid 1970's. My mother once said that Agu [uncle] Gönpo Tseten can levitate up to a meter cross-legged because of his yogic and spiritual accomplishments. I was about 5 years old; I used to sit next to him as he painted [[thangka]]s. I remember one time he painted my little sister's nails, and mine too. Although I met him only a few times when I was about 5, I remember vividly that he radiated what I now realize was loving kindness."
