As a worldly person, Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche was given the position of a rinpoche for his true practice. He has shown that all sentient beings have Buddha Nature. One disciple of Most Venerable Yunga Rinpoche once took a photo in Tibet and found the image of Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche appearing on the picture, when Rinpoche himself was in Taiwan.
