In addition, he received many teachings under the late H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Dodrupchen Rinpoche, Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche, and many other great siddhas. Keeping in view of his wonderful qualities of a master, H.H. Penor Rinpoche appointed him as Head of Palyul Mother Monastery in Tibet in 1994. On 14 August 2000, he was formally enthroned as the lineage holder.Since H.H. Penor Rinpoche’s parinirvana, H.H.
