While still in his mother's womb Choegyal Rinpoche was recognized by H.H.16th Gyalwa Karmapa as Choegyal Yonten Gyamtso, the present and 8th Dru-gu Choegyal incarnation in the Drukpa Kagyu lineage. Choegyal Rinpoche took refuge with the Most Venerable Sonam Tenzin and Kathog Getse and was enthroned at the age of four. He spent the subsequent years of his childhood in the Dru-gu region of Tibet, where, he says, "art, spiritual training and meditation practice were inseparable."

Choegyal Rinpoche began his training at the age of five.
He memorized many religious texts and studied the 9 yanas. He was trained for twenty-four years by H.H. 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche (an accomplished artist as well as meditation master) and received teachings and continual personal guidance from H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. He became the lineage holder of a number of unique teachings. Other root teachers were H.H.16th Gyalwa Karmapa, H.E. Tsentul Logan Sotan Rinpoche, H.E. the 8th Dorzong Rinpoche, H.E. Adi Rinpoche, Tokden Choelek, Tokden Ajam, and Most Venerable Sakya Khenpo Rinchen. Rinpoche also received important teachings from Nubgon Khen Lekshe, Zigar Khen Choedar, Dru-gu Gegan Dechen, Khenpo Gedun of Kathog, Khenpo Tsondue, Khenpo Thubchoe, Sogchen Khenpo Tsega, Nangchen Yangwen Khen Chen, and Khenpo Tipa of Chakzam Gelugpa Monastery.
