His Holiness Khalkha Rinpoche in his previous lives held the position of spiritual and temporal leader, which was the same position in Mongolia that His Holiness the Dalai Lama once held in Tibet.

In 2007 His Holiness Khalkha Rinpoche visited the Sydney Centre and verbally recognised the Overcoming Problems Programs and Courses. He formalised this recognition in 2008.
