The fifth incarnation was born into the Shakha family of in [[Derge]], and was known as [[Shakha Mingyur Dorje]]. The sixth incarnation was born into the Neyra family of [[Meshö]] in the Derge region, and was known as [[Neyra Mingyur Dorje]]. All these incarnations studied, reflected upon, and practiced the sutras, tantras, and general sciences, so that they discovered pure wisdom for themselves and thus attained the dharmakaya throne of the state beyond meditation. Through the three qualities of wisdom, compassion, and capability, they accomplished enormous benefit for the Buddhadharma and beings.</del></div></td><td colspan="2"> </td></tr>

In a previous lifetime, Mingyur Rinpoche was the noble being Niruddha, who among all the disciples of Buddha Shakyamuni demonstrated the great miraculous powers at the Vajra Throne of Bodh Gaya. In the snowy ranges of Tibet, he was reborn in the eighth century C.E. as Prince Mutri Tsenpo (the eldest son of King Trisong Deutsen), one of the twenty-five disciples of Guru Padmasambhava. The prince's successive incarnations appeared in Tibet to spread the Buddha teachings as emissaries of Padmasambhava.</ins></div></td></tr>

Terchen Dorje Lingpa (1346-1405) was associated with the east, Pema Lingpa (1450-1521) with the west, and Shikpo Lingpa (1524-1583) with the intermediate directions. Mingyur Rinpoche's previous incarnations also included the great Drigung tertön Rinchen Phuntsok (1509-1557), Rigdzin Jatsön Nyingpo (1585-1656), Namchö Mingyur Dorje (1645-1667), and twenty-one major tertöns with the name Nuden, among whom was the seventeenth-century incarnation Yongey Mingyur Dorje.</ins></div></td></tr>

That great lord himself practiced the stages of approach, accomplishment, and enactment focusing on Dorje Drollo for nine months; by doing so, the Karmapa overcame the unfavorable circumstances and obstacles, and turned back the invading forces.

In particular, he bound under oath the spirits known as the "nine demon brothers" and their retinues-evil forces that were wreaking disaster on the world.

It was as if an emanation of Guru Dorje Drollo had appeared in human form. Through his three qualities of being learned, virtuous, and noble-minded, the second Mingyur Dorje benefited the Buddhadharma and beings enormously. The third incarnation was also born into the Batok family and was known as Rimö Mingyur Dorje. The fourth incarnation was born into the Lhalung family of Derge in eastern Tibet, and was known as Tragyen Mingyur Dorje. The fifth incarnation was born into the Shakha family of in Derge, and was known as Shakha Mingyur Dorje. The sixth incarnation was born into the Neyra family of Meshö in the Derge region, and was known as Neyra Mingyur Dorje. All these incarnations studied, reflected upon, and practiced the sutras, tantras, and general sciences, so that they discovered pure wisdom for themselves and thus attained the dharmakaya throne of the state beyond meditation. Through the three qualities of wisdom, compassion, and capability, they accomplished enormous benefit for the Buddhadharma and beings.</ins></div></td></tr>
