	Dakini (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Dakinis utilize a form of writing that is subtle and mysterious, so the dakini also plays an essential role in the interpretation of these objects or texts known as termas.
		The unenlightened dakini is termed "worldly" because she is trapped or caught in the cyclic existence that is samsara and like most beings, is subject to suffering, death and rebirth.
		The Indian mother goddess as Smashana Kali is served by dakinis -- female acolytes whose role was to tend the dying and arrange funerals.

	Dakini Energies - Crystalinks
		When the dakini's test has been fulfilled and passed, the practitioner is often then recognised as a Mahasiddha, and often is elevated into the Paradise of the Dakinis, a place of enlightened bliss.
		Iconographic representations tend to show the dakini as a young, naked figure in a dancing posture, often holding a skull cup filled with menstrual blood or the elixir of life in one hand, and a curved knife in the other.
		Dakinis are 'sky dancers,' heavenly angels devoted to the truth (dharma), woman consorts of and partners with the god-creators of India and Tibet.

	Dakini
		Dakini are timeless, inorganic, immortal, non-human beings who have co-existed since the very beginning with the Spiritual Energy.
		Tantric sex may involve a "helper dakini," who may be a human female trained in Tantra Yoga, or an "actual" dakini.
		The dakini increases the level of erotic pleasure for the sexual participants by helping them focus on a non-physical state of spiritual joy and the physical pleasure of sex at the same time.

		Thus there are worldy Dakinis who are malicious and use their powers to confuse us, to arouse passions that are destructive, and who use their charms for their own selfish purposes.
		Dharma Dakinis are not afraid to use their powers to dazzle us, arouse us out of our sleep of habits, and seduce us onto a path of truth.
		Dakinis manifest the beauty of the Truth which is then an invitation to follow the path of Truth.

	Dakini - Wikipedia
		Es gibt jedoch auch Vermutungen, wonach die Dakinis und Dakas in früheren Zeiten Schamaninnen und Schamanen waren, die sich mit Hilfe von ekstatischen Tänzen in Trance versetzten und auf diese Weise Reisen in andere Welten unternehmen konnten.
		Dakinis sind der Überlieferung zufolge nicht an die Zeit gebunden, sie sind sowohl körperlos als auch unsterblich, sind nicht-menschliche Wesen und sie existieren seit dem Anbeginn zusammen mit der spirituellen Energie.
		Um eine Dakini zu erleben, muss nicht nach der Erscheinung dieser übersinnlichen Wesen gesucht werden.

		Rather, she is a wrathful manifestation of Guhyajnana Dakini, who, according to the Nyingmapa tradition, was the principal Dakini teacher of Padmasambhava in the country of Uddiyana.
		Therefore, although Simhamukha is a Dakini in her aspect, she functions as a Yidam or meditation deity and her special functions are averting and repulsing (bzlog-pa) psychic attacks that may assault the practitioner and the subduing of negative female energy as personified by the Matrikas or Mamos.
		Thus, the Dakini, in the Buddhist context, represents a re-emergence of the feminine at all levels in the domain of the psychic and the spiritual, not simply as an adjunct to a male deity, but as an independent force in her own right.

	Dakini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A dakini (Tibetan: མཁའ་གྲ་མ་; Wylie: mkha'-'gro-ma; ZWPY: Kandroma; Chinese language: 空行女) is a Tantric Buddhist concept particularly prevalent in Tibet.
		It should be noted that while a Dakini is often depicted as beautiful and naked, they are seen not sexual symbols, but as symbols of natural humans.
		The Chinese and Tibetan terms for dakini literally mean "she who travels in the sky"; this is sometimes rendered poetically as "sky dancer" or "sky walker".

	Dance of the Yogini: Images of Aggression in Tantric Buddhism
		Though the graphic symbolism of the dakini jolts us into a comprehension of the spiritual superiority of women, nevertheless an important element of dakini iconography subtly reminds us of the presence of the masculine in her composite buildup.
		In fact, texts said to have been revealed by dakinis, were believed to be written in the 'dakini spirit,' a kind of secret language, and these texts highly prized for their esoteric nature.
		A majority of scholars believe that the use of such a mystical and secret language is parallel to the identification of women with the unknown in nature, and her body as a metaphor for the mysteries of the world.

	Dakini Ngan Ne Ma
		The word dakini is translated as women who dance in the sky or interpretable as women who revel in the freedom of emptiness.
		Here too, the dakini Ngan ne ma, believed to possess the "great magical talent of subduing the enemies of Dharma by performing her special dance of compassion that transforms the antagonists," dances her grotesque dance in the air, where howling wolves and growling lions float in attendance amidst smoke-filled curls.
		The dakini dances her vigorous dance in the void or emptiness characterized by the sky.

		It is my belief however that if one has a sincere wish to understand the Dakini and is open to Vajra Yogini the viewing of her form alone can bring great benefit and can cause a being to transform her life in a positive manner.
		Superficially the Dakini embodies the spirit of female wrath, she appears to dance in a wild frenzy, bent on destruction chaos and transformation.
		The Dakini are not bent on mindless destruction or chaos for its own sake The wrath they embody is towards their own states of anger, greed and delusion, which they and their practitioners seek to cut out and transform.

	Shambhala - Dakini's Warm Breath (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Western scholars and interpreters of the dakini, influenced by Jungian psychology and feminist goddess theology, have shaped a contemporary critique of Tibetan Buddhism in which the dakini is seen as a psychological "shadow," a feminine savior, or an objectified product of patriarchal fantasy.
		In the spiritual journey of the meditator, Simmer-Brown demonstrates, the dakini symbolizes levels of personal realization: the sacredness of the body, both female and male; the profound meeting point of body and mind in meditation; the visionary realm of ritual practice; and the empty, spacious qualities of mind itself.
		When the meditator encounters the dakini, living spiritual experience is activated in a nonconceptual manner by her direct gaze, her radiant body, and her compassionate revelation of reality.

	The Dakini Tantra - Introduction
		It is well recorded that in most ancient times, ina hidden corner of the land that was to become Tibet, the Dakini had a Sacred Domain ~ a land pure of males ~ and it is from their ancient realm that the Dakini first shared the art of Tantra.
		Dakini Tantra is distinctive in that, rather than a connection between a Lingam and a Yoni, it is a merging between a tongue to the Yoni of the receptor.
		It could be debated that Dakini Tantra, with its total focus on the Yoni and Goddess (even beyond that found in the school refered to as Yoni Tantra), fits closer to Shakta or Shaktism (one of the 5 aspects of Hinduism).

	Dakini
		In some cases, Dakini is the personal name of an individual goddess, as in the case of an attendant of Chinnamasta, as well as in case of the goddess ruling the Muladhara Chakra.
		In the Bardo Thödol, a dakini is defined as the "feminine energy principle, associated with knowledge and intelligence, which may be either destructive or creative".
		In yet other instances, dakini is used as an honorary title for an enlightened woman, a living incarnation of a goddess; and for female initiates practicing ritual sexuality.

	Amazon.com: Dakini's Warm Breath: The Feminine Principle in Tibetan Buddhism: Books: Judith Simmer-Brown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		She defines dakini as a symbol "who personifies in Tibetan Buddhism the spiritual process of surrendering expectation and concept, revealing limitless space and pristine awareness." The methodology she employs in her study includes both scholarly preparation and training in Vajrayana Buddhist practice traditions.
		As she reviews the Indian historical background of dakini, she is careful to differentiate dakini in Tibetan tantric literature from dakini's "Hindu tantric cousins." While Thinley Norbu's Magic Dance: The Display of the Self-Nature of the Five Wisdom Dakinis is more poetic, Simmer-Brown's work is more scholarly and focused.
		Simmer-Brown's treatment of the dakini is organized around a poem by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, reprinted in the book, which speaks of the secret dakini, the inner dakini, the outer dakini, and the outer-outer dakini.

	Encountering the Dakini
		Kumari represents the most significant class of enlightened female figures in Tibetan Buddhism, the wisdom dakini, In yogic literature and lore, she and her sisters appear to practitioners, men and women alike, during rituals and during retreat to give teaching, direction, and challenge in meditation practice.
		Certainly there have been fine preliminary studies of the dakini, beginning with the scholarship of David Snellgrove, who traced the development of the dakini from her "gruesome and obscene" origins to her "more gentle aspects" in Tibetan depictions as symbols of transcendent wisdom.
		The second, more recent model derives from feminist sources, which treat the dakini as a female goddess figure who may be, on the one hand, a creation of a patriarchal fantasy or, on the other, a remnant of some prepatriarchal past who champions women in androcentric settings.

	Woman and the Dakini
		A consort is a Dakini by virtue of her involvement in a moment, or rather an unbroken succession of moments, of integration and enlightenment.
		Thus from the beginning the Dakinis were associated with the meta-psychotherapeutic function of ego destruction and the initiation of yogins into the mandala of pure being, consciousness and ecstasy (satchitananda).
		The Dakini sees all men as her Gurus; it is the sexual metaphor describing her lack of discrimination and her willingness to unite with all men that gives her a reputation for promiscuity.
