In April, 1925, Dàyǒng 大勇 changed the name of his Tibetan Language College 藏文學院 to the "Residing-in-Tibet Dharma Studies Group." This group came out of Dàyǒng's idea, inspired by Dorjé Chöpa 多杰覺拔 (one of the school's teachers), to send Chiense monks to study Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet. With funding from Tāng Zhùxīn 湯鑄新 and Hú Zǐhù 胡子笏, they set out for Tibet. In the fall of 1925, the group, which included over 20 people, reached Xīkāng 西康 from Sìchuān 四川. They remained there until the spring of 1927, during which time they studied Tibetan and Translated Tsong Khapa's 菩提道次第略論.
In 1927, they reached Garzê 甘孜 province with a military escort, but while there, the Tibetan officials misunderstood they aims of the group, and believing that theirs was a governmental group, refused to allow them entry into Tibet. The group stayed at Zhájiā Temple 札迦寺, where they continued their studies.
In the fall of 1928, Amdō Geshe 安東格西[1] arrived at the temple where they were staying, and taught the monks more about Tibetan Buddhism. Dàyǒng died on August 10, 1929.
