Later Another Venerable High Nyingmapa Lama called Dodrubchen Rinpoche came to this place in 1959 from Tibet. He gradually developed this small Lhakhang into a well-established Monastery with enrolment of 400 to 500 Monks.

Now it has become a busy place for fulfilling the religious needs of the devotees of Gangtok area as well as from Bhutan and other adjoining areas. It follows Dzogchenpa lineage of Nyingmapa Sect of Mahayana Buddhism. Presently the monastery has more than 500 monks. Every year on the break of Losar ,Vajra Kilaya Kawang is imparted to the Devotees a week before the Dubchoe or its ceremony starts.
