Having remained in retreat for most of his life, he now serves as the heir of Togden Kunzang Longdrol, giving spiritual guidance to all retreatants on the land, leading monthly practices, and presiding over public ceremonies at Deden Tashi Choeling temple in Yoldong.

Through this, he played a key role in preserving and transmitting many unique spiritual lineages of the past to present-day practitioners in Pemakö.
