It was founded in 1429 by the 21st generation abbot of Sakya Monastery, Erqin gonggasanbo. After gonggesanbo, the Khenpo Dharma seat spread to the 75th generation. Every year, the Khenpo Dharma seat taught the monks in various Tibetan areas the Shami, Bodhisattva and bhikkhu precepts, and taught the Dharma and the three chapters of each sequel. There are five lazars in the temple, which are tazera, tangsala, ludendra, pendela and kangsera.
