One of Padmasambhava's twenty-five main disciples was (right) Khyeuchung Lotsawa. He was a ngakpa wearing white robes and uncut braided hair who received all the tantric (Vajrayana) teachings from Padmasambhava. He was able to communicate the Dharma to the birds. Among his most notable of a remarkable series of his rebirths was Duddul Dorje.

In the 17th Century CE Duddul Dorje opened up places of pilgrimage in remote places of power. Foremost among these was Pemakö, the hidden valley in the Tsangpo River valley inhabited by wild hill tribes. Padmasambhava and the 25 disciples as well as Gampopa had previously practised there but it was inaccessible until Duddul Dorje opened it up for the first time to ordinary pilgrims.

A prophecy about Mingyur Dorje in Terton Duddul Dorje's revelations says;

"in the future, close to Richen in the region of Kham, one who holds the name Dorje and a treasure index, will be marked by a mole which symbolizes the spontaneous accomplishment of the three kayas. Those beings who see or hear him will no longer be reborn in the lower realms."
