Namcho Mingyur Dorje

View image

Namcho Mingyur Dorje (1645–1667). A prolific treasure revealer (tertön), Mingyur Dorjé was an emanation of Shüpu Palgyi Sengé, who was one of the twenty-five disciples of Padmasambhava. He was the immediate reincarnation Trulshik Wangdrak Gyatso.

Educated and sponsored by the great Kagyu master Karma Chakme, his revelations formed in part the basis of the Pelyul branch of the Nyingma tradition. Among his many treasures (terma) included in the Rinchen Terdzod are the Namchö cycle, for which he is best known.
