 According to tradition, when Ngoje Repa first heard of Jikten Gonpo Rinchen Pel ('jig rten mgon po rin chen dpal, 1143-1217) the founder of Drigung Til Monastery ('bri gung mthil), he was overcome by jealousy. He drew a picture on a wall of Jikten Gonpo turning a stone mill with the heads of his disciples in it, a depiction meant to suggest that Jikten Gonpo was spinning the heads of his disciples with false teachings.
-Confident of his debating skills, he went to Drigung Til to challenge Jikten Gonpo. He was brought into the master's presence by Pelchen Ngepuwa (dpal chen ngad phu ba). Despite his intentions, legend has it that as soon Ngoje Repa saw Jikten Gonpo he felt he was seeing the Buddha himself. Jikten Gonpo spoke first, addressing all of Ngoje Repa's challenges and disabling all the debate tricks he had prepared. Overcome with devotion, Ngoje Repa requested teachings and initiation into the Drigung tradition, both sutra and tantra. Jikten Gonpo gave him the name Zhedang Dorje (zhe sdang rdo rje).

-It is said that Ngoje Repa wrote his famous text The Essence of Mahāyāna (theg chen bstan pa'i snying po) as well as an auto-commentary out of the intention to purify his negative thoughts toward Jikten Gonpo and to pay back his kindness.
-According to Khetsun Zangpo, he was ordained under Tsultrim Dorje (tshul khrims rdo rje, 1154-1220), the second abbot of Drigung Monastery, with Lobpon Ton (slob dpon ston) acting as assistant preceptor, and Chakriwa (lcags ri ba) acting as secret preceptor. He received the ordination name Tsultrim Tarchin (tshul khrims mthar phyin).
-During the second half of Ngoje Repa's life – in a pig year, according to Khetsun Zangpo – he built Belbu Gong Monastery (bal bu gong).
-Late in life he is said to have travelled to Lhodrak (lho brag), Lhopu (lho phu) and Chukyer (chu 'khyer) to meditate. It is said that he had a vision of Mahakala when practicing in Shawuk Takgo Cave (sha 'ug ltag sgo'i shug phug).
-His compositions comprise two volumes in the collected teachings of the Drigung Kagyu. Author: Evan Yerburgh.
