Becoming the “Throne Holder” of the Sakya Tradition - interview with the 41st Sakya Trizin

His Holiness the 41st Sakya Trizin was born in 1945 in Utsang, Tibet into the noble Khon family, which founded the Sakya Buddhist Order. His Holiness was nominated as the Trizin ‘Throne Holder’ of Sakya by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1950, but his official enthronement celebration did not take place until 1959. Soon after His Holiness escaped to India and found the new Sakya Monastery there. His Holiness served as the head of the Sakya Order until 2017, when the throneholder duties were handed over to his son.
