| − | Following his early education at [[Drikung Thil Changchub Ling]], the main monastery of [[Drikung]], he continued his studies at [[Nyinma Thangra]], the Drikung philosophical college. He received all the initiations of [[Rinchen Terdzo]] and [[Kagyu Nagdzod]] from [[Nyinsum Tripa]], a great Drikung lama. The second tutor of H.H. the [[Drikung Kyabgon]], [[Ayang Thupten]] gave him the teachings of the [[Six Yogas of Naropa]] and Mahamudra. From [[Khenpo Tsense Sangpo]], he received all [[Nyingthig]] initiations and teachings as well as his first [[Phowa]] teaching (this of the Nyingma tradition). He received the [[Upadesha]] from a great Nyingma Yogi, [[Rahor Chodra Rinpoche]].

| − | After finishing his studies and receiving many teachings he went on pilgrimage in Tibet to many of the holy places of Guru Rinpoche, doing a lengthy retreat at [[Phulung]], where Guru Rinpoche practiced Phowa for a long time. At the end of the retreat, he performed an offering puja which was attended by many naga, who came with offerings and circumambulated his retreat while performing mantras of Guru Rinpoche. Venerable Ayang Rinpoche felt that this was a great sign and felt it might mean that in the future he would be teaching Phowa in foreign countries.
