He received novice ordination and a vast number of transmissions from Karma Kuchen Rinpoche. His root guru was the remarkable Khenpo Ngaga. One of the most highly realized Dzogchen masters of this century, Khenpo Ngaga (1879-1941) was also regarded as an emanation of Vimalamitra. He conferred upon Pema Norbu full ordination in the vinaya lineage of Shantarakshita and gave him the secret oral teachings of Dzogchen. Through these blessings, Pema Norbu attained realization of the primordially pure nature of all phenomena and displayed signs of having realized the "Increasing of Experience" of the four visions of tögal. He also met and received empowerments from both Mipham Rinpoche and Jamgön Kongtrul.
