Tsewang Tamdin est ministre de l'administration Sakya au Tibet quand les Chinois qui essayaient d'instaurer des réformes dans diverses régions du Tibet au début des années 1950 sont arrivés pour la première fois à cheval dans la principauté de Sakya en 1953. Il déclara avoir entendu des cris de plusieurs personnes apeurées à la vu d'étrangers porteurs d'armes à feu monter à cheval à Sakya^[1].

Après le soulèvement tibétain de 1959 et la fuite du 14e dalaï-lama, il s'est enfui du Tibet avec le sakya trizin Ngawang Kunga Tegchen Palbar^[2]

Lors de la mise en place de la première Assemblée des députés du peuple tibétain (alors connue sous le nom de Commission des députés du peuple tibétain), il est élu de la 1er Assemblée tibétaine représentant l'école sakya du bouddhisme tibétain et exerce les fonctions de député pendant trois mandat au Parlement tibétain en exil dont il est président de 1964 à 1969.

Le 29 mai 1969, le ministère des Finances est établi et Tsewang Tamdin en est le premier kalon (ministre)^[3].

The Kalon said he heard cries and shouts from several people who claimed they had seen gun-carrying foreigners ride horses into Sakya. He said the people "felt fear at the sight of the armed foreigners", ie., the Chinese. "

He accordingly went to the Dolma Photang where he found a very high lama had investigated the signs and declared it was time for the Sakya Trizin to leave Sakya. He said the Sakya officials "met secretly, we could not hold public meetings and we had to make the departure of the Sakya Trizin from the Palace appear as normal as possible. If the Chinese discovered our plans, the escape of the Sakya Trizin would have been prevented". There were about 16 or 17 people in the final escape party."
