'''Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|j|ɒ|ŋ|ɡ|eɪ}}; born 1975)<ref name="bio">[http://tergar.org/about/mingyur-rinpoche/mingyur-rinpoche-bio/ Mingyur Rinpoche Bio]</ref> is a Tibetan teacher and master of the [[Karma Kagyu]] and [[Nyingma]] lineages of [[Tibetan Buddhism]]. He has authored two best-selling books and oversees the [[Tergar Meditation Community]], an international network of [[Buddhist]] meditation centers.

==Life==
Mingyur Rinpoche was born in [[Nepal]] in 1975<ref name="bio"/> the youngest of four brothers. His mother is Sönam Chödrön, a descendant of the two Tibetan kings Songtsen Gampo and Trisong Deutsen. His brothers are [[Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche]], [[Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche]], and [[Tsoknyi Rinpoche]] and his nephews are [[Phakchok Rinpoche]] and the reincarnation of [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]], known popularly as Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche. From the age of nine,<ref name="bio"/> his father, [[Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche]],<ref name="bio"/> taught him meditation,<ref name="bio"/> passing on to him the most essential instructions of the [[Dzogchen]] and [[Mahamudra]] traditions.

At the age of eleven, Mingyur Rinpoche began studies at [[Sherab Ling Monastery]]<ref name="bio"/> in northern India, the seat of [[Tai Situ Rinpoche]]. Two years later, Mingyur Rinpoche began a traditional three-year retreat at Sherab Ling.<ref name="bio"/> At the age of nineteen, he enrolled at [http://dzongsarinstitute.org.in/ Dzongsar Institute], where, under the tutelage of the renowned Khenpo Kunga Wangchuk, he studied the primary topics of the Buddhist academic tradition, including Middle Way
philosophy and Buddhist logic. At age twenty, Mingyur Rinpoche became the functioning abbot of Sherab Ling.<ref name="bio"/> At twenty-three, he received full monastic ordination.<ref name="bio"/> During this time, Mingyur Rinpoche received important Dzogchen transmissions from [[Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche]].<ref name="bio"/>

In 2007, Mingyur Rinpoche completed the construction of [[Tergar Monastery]] in [[Bodhgaya]], India, which will serve large numbers of people attending Buddhist events at this sacred pilgrimage site, serve as an annual site for month-long Karma Kagyu scholastic debates, and serve as an international study institute for the Sangha and laity. The institute will also have a medical clinic for local people.<ref>[http://tergar.org/about/tergar.shtml The Young Monks of Tergar Monastery] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090801024306/http://tergar.org/about/tergar.shtml |date=August 1, 2009 }}</ref>

Mingyur Rinpoche has overseen the [[Kathmandu]] [[Tergar Osel Ling Monastery]], founded by his father, since 2010. He also opened a [[shedra]] (monastic college) at the monastery.<ref name="Tergar">{{cite web | url=http://tergar.org/resources/find-a-center-or-group/kathmandu/ | title=Kathmandu Tergar Osel Ling Monastery | publisher=Tergar.org | access-date=May 29, 2013}}</ref>

In June 2011, Mingyur Rinpoche left his monastery in Bodhgaya to begin a period of extended retreat. Rinpoche left in the middle of the night, taking nothing with him, but leaving a farewell letter.<ref name="Tergar International">Tergar International: [http://tergar.org/resources/letter-from-yongey-mingyur-rinpoche-before-entering-retreat/ Letter from Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche When Entering Retreat | Tergar International of Nepal]</ref> He spent four years as a wandering yogi.<ref name="In exclusive first interview...">[http://www.lionsroar.com/in-exclusive-first-interview-mingyur-rinpoche-reveals-what-happened-during-his-four-years-as-a-wandering-yogi/ "In exclusive first interview..."], 27 Nov 2015, lionsroar.com</ref><ref name="lionsroar">{{cite web |last1=Lion's Roar staff |title=Mingyur Rinpoche reveals what happened during his four years as a wandering yogi |url=https://www.lionsroar.com/in-exclusive-first-interview-mingyur-rinpoche-reveals-what-happened-during-his-four-years-as-a-wandering-yogi/ |website=Lion's Roar |access-date=19 June 2019 |date=15 July 2016}}</ref>

During the first few weeks of this retreat, Rinpoche had a near-death experience, likely due to a severe form of [[botulism]]. This may have been the result of choosing to eat only the meals that were free and available to him after allowing himself to run out of money. The near-death experience, according to Rinpoche, was one of the most pivotal and transformative experiences of his life. After continuing with his retreat for four years, he later returned to his position as abbot.<ref name="In exclusive first interview..."/><ref name="lionsroar"/>
