He was the highest person of Tibetan Buddhism in Inner Mongolia and the fourth highest lamas of Tibetan Buddhism in general. He supported the Kuomintang and accompanied the Republic of China government to Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War in 1949.[1] He was awarded titles by the Kuomintang and also received living expenses until his death.[2] It is believed that before his death in 1957 he had signed a pledge that he would not reincarnate until the Republic of China retook the mainland.[3]

After his death, his residence in Taipei was converted in February 1993 into the Mongolian and Tibetan Cultural Center, which includes a memorial to him.
