The Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism has been inherited by highly accomplished lamas. This is particularly true of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, which was founded by Kyobpa Jigten Sumgon,whose main disciple was Nyun Gar Chusum. The details of this lineage and its significance are described in The Drikung's Golden History.

Garchen Rinpoche is one of the important Master in The Drikung Kagyu order. His lineage of incarnation can be traced to Gardampa Chödengpa, a disciple of the great Kyobpa Jigten Sumgön.

Minam Rinpoche was born on 3 March 1966 in the Ga-xiong village of the Nangchen district within the Qinghai province. Until 1980, Rinpoche was living as a herdsman, learning Tibetan and preliminary Buddhist theories on his own. In 1980, he was ordained at Ka-Trashi Monastery of the Drikung Kagyu tradition, and began to receive teachings, transmissions and ritual instructions of the Drikung Kagyu school. Later, Rinpoche entered a retreat to complete the preliminary practices as prescribed in the Mahamudra Ngondro.
