What a brilliant building block we students were given in class today from Khandro-la!
I went down some pretty deep rabbit holes after class looking at all the different Dakinis and the lineages that follow them. Below are three images I thought were really neat regarding the Japanese Dakini and as for the Dakini with a Tiger Head, Simhamukha kept coming up. Here is a link to Her: https://teahouse.buddhistdoor.net/simhamukha-the-lion-faced-dakini/ .
What really struck me this evening after class was that there are so many Dakinis, and I cannot wait to meet more and more of them!

Endless possibilities of dakinis! Thank you, TK, these images and stories are fascinating. I'm looking for a dakini riding a laughing hyena! It is said they are "witty, courageous, smart and have no apologies to make. They are also incredibly caring and nurturing. They laugh when they are threatened or under attack." It seems a little to me like Dakini laughing at appearances!
