His father was Namkha Pelzang (nam mkha' dpal bzang) and his mother was Chokyab Bumnyi (chos skyabs 'bum gnyis). He is said to have learned how to read and write with little effort while still young. At age thirteen he enrolled in the monastery of Drakmar Choding (brag dmar chos sdings), where he received novice ordination and did his initial studies under the masters Lodro Gonpo (blo gros mgon po, fifteenth century) and Jangsem Chopel Gyaltsen (byang sems chos 'phel rgyal mtshan, fifteenth century). | ||
Some years later Norzang Gyatso entered Rikhu Chode (ri khud chos sde), a monastery in Tanak that had been given to the First Dalai Lama Gendun Drub (ge 'dun grub, 1391-1474) in 1433 by the patron Gejong Karpo (dge sbyong dkar po). It is not clear whether Gendun Drub was still in residence at the time. Whatever the case, Gendun Drub, Sherab Sengge (shes rab seng ge) and others had requested another famous scholar, Drakpa Zangpo (grags pa bzang po, fifteenth century), to teach at this time. This important master—a student of Rongton Sheja Kunrik (rong ston shes bya kun rig, 1367-1449) and an important figure in the transmission of the Pramāṇasamuccaya of Dignāga and the Abhidharmakośa of Vasubandhu—was therefore teaching at Rikhu while Norzang Gyatso was in residence, and Norzangpa applied himself assiduously to his studies under this great scholar. He would later remark on the both the great discipline maintained by the audience in this great monastic assembly and the quality of the teachings. The gathering, he said, "was just as it was when the Buddha came to the world." | |||
After completing his initial studies at Rikhu, Norzang Gyatso traveled to the monasteries of Tsum Dechen ('tshums bde chen) and Chokhor Gang (chos 'khor sgang). He continued his training, receiving empowerments, reading transmissions, and oral instructions from many masters, including "the omniscient" Sherab Rinchen (shes rab rin chen, b. 1405), who ironically was the first critic of Tsongkhapa Lobzang Drakpa (tsong kha pa blo bzang grags pa, 1357-1419), the teacher to most of his colleagues. Norzangpa then went to Tashilhunpo (bkra shis lhun po) where he received from Gendun Drub extensive teachings on the five classical subjects of the monastic curriculum -- Prajñāparamitā, Madhyamaka, Vinaya, Abhidharma, and especially Pramāṇa. It was also during this time that he received his most important teachings on the Lamrim (lam rim). Having completed his training in the five scholastic subjects, he did an academic tour known as a “monastic round,” or drakor, (grwa skor) at the famous academy of Sangpu Neutok (gsang phu sne'u thog), and from this point on his fame as a scholar grew. | |||
