The moment he was born, rainbows of all shapes were seen, auspicious music was heard, and all the people around rejoiced greatly. Soon after, great masters Mchokdreth Rinpoche, Danbi Gysan, Jamyang Qinruo Gyatso, Zongsa Qinze. Rinpoche as well as Baima Namjie recognized him as the reincarnation of Renqin Duojie, manifestation of Yuzha Ningbo, who was one of the 25 closest disciples of Padmasambhava. Following the recognition, His Eminence was then enthroned.
