constructed a stupa and placed a finger span golden statue of Guru Tshoke Dorji as the
inner sacred relic. The consecration of the stupa was conducted by himself. In gratitude,
the community of the area started to offer annual Buelwa (new crops) to him.

The lama was having three golden statues. One was installed in Bji Zam Chorten and one
in Rabo Chorten. The third one is still in possession of the ruling lineage which is
displayed to the public on the 10th day of the 8th month of the Bhutanese calendar at
Busa Wangdue Goenpa.

In Drangla, the local deity, Thrinlay Dendup attempted to harm the Lama with evil magic
power by transforming himself into an iron fierce wild yak. The lama with his spiritual
power subdued the deity and made him the dharma protector of the area. He also built a
monastery in the area which is still being used as the residence of Busa Trulku Rinpoche.
On the back of it, he established a crematorium for the people of Drangla.

Lama Khedrup Choki Dorji then became the sixth abbot of Busa Wangdue Goenpa and
took the responsibility of maintaining the seat and fulfilled the religious and spiritual
needs of the people of Sephu.

Seventy Abbot - Lama Dorji Tenzin

Lama Dorji Tenzin was a nephew of Khedrup Choki Dorji
from Chendebji. He received the teachings of Dorji Lingpa
tradition from his uncle and mastered them.

He stayed at Drangla and Wangdue Gonpa preaching the
dharma until he left for nirvana.

7. Eighth Abbot - Lama Sherab Yoezer

Lama Sherab Yoezer was born as a grandson of Khedrup
Choki Dorji in Chendebji. Since an early age, he received
teachings, oral transmission, and empowerment of Dorji
Lingpa tradition from Buli Trulku Khachab Namkha Dorji in
Bumthang.

He served as a royal attendant to the First King Gongsa Ugyen
Wangchuk at Kunga Rabten Palace.

Later, Gongsa sent Sherab Yoezer as the next abbot of Busa
Wangdue Goenpa. He conferred empowerment, oral
transmission, and teachings to the people of Sephu until he
left for nirvana.
