Minling Terchen Gyurme Dorje (smin gling gter chen 'gyur med rdo rje) aka Terdak Lingpa (gter bdag gling pa) (1646-1714) - A great tertön and the founder of Mindroling Monastery.
Biography
His father was Sangdak Trinlé Lhundrup (1611-62) and his mother was Yangchen Drolma. He was born on the tenth day of the second month of the Fire Dog year. Together with Lochen Dharmashri, he compiled the terma collection known as the Döjo Bumzang, which was a precursor of the Rinchen Terdzö. He established Mindroling monastery in 1676.
His final words were:
- May appearance, sound and awareness in the state of deity, mantra and dharmakaya
- Merge boundlessly as the display of kayas and wisdoms,
- In the profound and secret practice of the Great Yoga,
- And may they be of one taste, indivisible with the tiklé of the wisdom mind.
His students included the Fifth Dalai Lama, Rigdzin Pema Trinlé of Dorje Drak, Sakya Trizin Kunga Tashi, his own younger brother Lochen Dharmashri and his own daughter Jetsün Mingyur Paldrön.
