In Phyang Monastery, murals painted by him include the Manjusri Bodhisattva and Vajravarahi Mandala on the north wall of the central hall and Wheel of Rebirth on the left side of the east wall. Murals in the assembly hall on the first story of Maitreya Hall in Basgo Monastery include White Tara on the right side of the south wall, and the Four Heavenly Kings and Dharma Protectors flanking the entrance on the south wall.
