He was widely renowned in the Tibetan Buddhist world as a master of Dzogchen. He was one of a very few teachers left from his generation who received all his training (in the traditional sense) in Tibet under the guidance of what Tibetan Buddhists consider to be fully enlightened teachers.<ref>VIth Convocation Souvenir 2010 | Published by Ngagyur Rigzod Editorial Committee</ref><ref>{{bo-textonly|རྗེ་བཙུན་བླ་མའི་གསང་གསུམ་རྗེས་སུ་དྲན་པ།}} Remembrance of the Spiritual Master | Published by Ngagyur Rigzod Editorial Committee, 2010</ref>
