Sangten Nyima Rinpoche Enthronement was held on 28 July 2006 at Kong Ya Monastery of Nang Qian.

Before Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche passed into Nirvana, he entrusted Palchen Rinpoche with all his responsibilities.

In his own words, "Palchen is myrepresentative and he is of great benefit to Dharma teachings.

Thus ChogyurLingpa¡'s prophecy will be fulfilled along with the wishes of myself."
