What is a Dakini?





From Wikipedia: ḍākinī is a type of spirit in Vajrayana Buddhism. The Sanskrit term is likely related to the term for drumming, while the Tibetan term means "skygoer". Dakinis are often represented as consorts in Yab-Yum representations. The masculine form of the word is ḍāka, which is usually translated into Tibetan as pawo "hero" (Wylie: dpa' bo).


Dakinis can be classified according to the Trikaya, or three bodies of buddhahood:
1.The Dharmakāya ḍākinī, which is Samantabhadrī, represents the dharmadhatu where all phenomena appear.


2.The Sambhogakāya ḍākinīs are the yidams used as meditational deities for tantric practice.


3.The Nirmanakāya ḍākinīs are human women born with special potentialities these are realized yoginis, consorts of gurus, or even all women in general.
