现世的竹巴仁波切自仰就悲心无比。十三岁时依止一位住于刹丘圣地，即身成.就大堪布噶玛切浈尊者。
七年中，求取了显密许多教法如般若、入菩萨行论、中观论、甚深密要等。 并在上师的指导下精进实修那若六法、大手印、大圆满、赤丘（立断）、托噶（顿越）、等共与不共无上密法，是位有实修证量的上师。
当至尊泰锡杜仁波切第一次到西康时，认证了仁波切为苏曼竹巴仁波切的转世，而后，竹巴仁波切又依止苏曼殿噶仁波切，并求取了所有苏曼踏举传承的教法，且重建苏曼耳传中心。建完闭关中心后，又带领十几位啦嘛进行了三年三个月的闭关修持。出关后再前往刹丘求法一年，由于仁波切具实修成就，精通显密教法，故担任闭关中心的导师，且负责主持每年定期的大法会。
