Lam Pem Dorji talks about Tandin Ney, as caretaker of the temple for the past 35 years. This was the residence of Guru Rinpoche and his consort Khandro Yeshey Tshogyal, who founded it as per his prophecy. She meditated in a cave for years; in that cave she met Guru in her vision, and attained nirvana; thus the cave is known as Sangphu. Guru Rinpoche predicted that a treasure revealer will find a treasure; Terton Drukdra Dorji had seen Tandin at the site and named it Tandin Ney. The temple has Guru Rinpoche's statue built by Gyeltsey Tshewang Tenzin, an heir of Drukpa Kinley, and a statue of Chenriyzig (Avalokiteshvara) built by Nima, Phajo Drukgon Zhipo’s son. It is said that the head of the Chenreyzig statue self-emerged.
