An monk from Norboogang village shares an account of Buddhism in his village. He says that the place was uninhabited until the time of the first king of Bhutan. Later on people from nearby places migrated to what was to become Norboogang. As they looked for a water source, the settles came across a pair of elephant tusks and named the place 'Norboogang', meaning 'valley of Jewels'. The monk narrates how a local strong man named Namgayla became a Drungpa, a local chieftain, and he was the first person in the village to have put a shrine room with statues for Buddhist worship in his house. During his time the Pema Lingpa tradition of Buddhism arrived in the village, still continuing to this day. Though later the Tersar tradition of Dudjom Rinpoche took root in the village, existing alongside the Pema Lingpa tradition. The monk also briefly mentions who first stopped the pre-Buddhist traditions of animal sacrifices and the one responsible for the construction of the first chorten stupa in the village.
