Namcho Mingyur Dorje

མི་འགྱུར་རྡོ་རྗེ་

1645 – 1667

Namcho Mingyur Dorje, the reincarnation of a Katok lama named Wangdrak Gyatso, was a prolific treasure revealer. 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 included in the Rinchen Terdzod are the Namcho cycle, for which he is best known. He should not be confused with Yongge Terton Mingyur Dorje, another student of Karma Chakme who was born in 1628.
