 Rinpoche went back to Copenhagen, where he took the position as lecturer at Copenhagen University until the year 2000, as well as being a research librarian and the head of the Tibetan Section of the Royal Library. The conclusion of his many years of work in the Royal Library was the publication of Catalogue of Tibetan Manuscripts and Xylographs in 2000 (Curzon, Richmond, Surrey Press / Royal Library, Copenhagen 2000).
In 1985 Rinpoche established the  Danish Tibetan Cultural Society. The branch of Tibet Help, a sponsoring agent, which many Tibetan children, youth and adults has greatly appreciated. In 1988 Rinpoche also encouraged the establishing of the Danish Tibet Support Group, which for some years was directed by his student Lene Handberg.
Tarab Rinpoche arranged the visits of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Copenhagen in 1988 and 1991 and to Munich in connection with the Tendrel / Unity in Duality Conference 2002.
In Denmark, apart from holding the seats at University and Royal Library and other activities Rinpoche continued his own inner investigations, crossing many difficult borders on the way of his own development of battling appearances until layers of reality dissolved and new doors opened - again and again - until reaching the stage where all the connections of Tendrel, the interrelated nature of all existence, basic to Buddhism, became crystal clear and an impact of himself. It was first then that Rinpoche again started to study the old Indo-Tibetan scripts, which he had otherwise put aside for quite a few years in order to find out for himself and for his own path unfold.
In the 1970ies Rinpoche for the first time started to share his insights with a wider western audience at one of the first international Conferences for Transpersonal Psychology, which was held in Lapland, Finland, where he was invited together with his teacher, Khensur Rinpoche. It was here on request that Rinpoche began giving workshops in Buddhist philosophy / science of mind. Back to this time also dates his connection with Stanislav Grof, the Society of Transpersonal Psychology, of which he for some time was the Eastern representative, which lead him among other places to Esalen / California and to South-America. It was here he met Ronald D. Laing, with whom over the next years ensued a close and fruitful collaboration. Tarab Rinpoche was giving numerous lectures at transpersonal and tibetological conferences at various European and American universities. He also published articles on the subjects of Buddhist philosophy and psychology.
During this time the various elements and aspects of the Tendrel or Unity in Duality Science of Mind and Phenomena, Personal Development as well as Spiritual and Psychotherapeutic Application based on his deep experience and knowledge of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, began to take shape. At the end of the 1980ies Rinpoche managed to integrate the various aspects into his integral system of Tendrel / Unity in Duality with special emphasis on the interrelated nature of subject and object, body and 'mind' as well as 'energy' and matter - thereby realizing his deep wish to open up the richness of the universal aspects of the Buddhist view and meditation wisdom also to people who are neither connected to Tibetan culture nor to Buddhist religion.
Tarab Tulku has been giving Unity in Duality workshops all around the world. He founded Tarab Institutes in Munich / Hamburg, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm, Brussels, Tartu, Paris, and London. In 1994 Rinpoche taught for the first time the then three-year Unity in Duality Study and Training Program at the Belgian Tarab Institute. In the program Tarab Rinpoche presents the universal aspects of the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist 'Ancient Inner Science of Mind and Phenomena', Personal Development as well as Spiritual and Psychotherapeutic Application in accordance with the needs of a rational-technological and highly developed culture. Since then he developed the Unity in Duality Program further, and taught it, now as a four-year training, in 1997 and in 1999 assisted by Lene Handberg, at the Tarab Institutes Munich and Stockholm, in 2002 the Unity in Duality Training Program started in Paris and in 2003 in Hamburg. Rinpoche was planning to start a similar Unity in Duality Program in India, Dehra Dun starting March 05, in which context he was planning to share his profound knowledge with Tibetan Scholars.
