What follows is the Definition of >Dakini< found in the Shambhala Dictionary of Buddhism and Zen . I offer this piece because Truth is difficult, no only to Imagine but to actualize in day-to-day Operations and Observations . You will better appreciate the Significance once you read the Def .
Dakini Sanskrit: in Indian folk belief, a female demon to be found in the company of gods; in Vajrayana Buddhism, the inspiring power of consciousness, usually depicted in iconography as a wrathful naked female figure . ... The Dakini has the task if integrating the powers liberated by the practitioner in the process of visualization ... Thus the Dakini is a female figure that moves on the highest level or Reality--- her nakedness symbolizes knowledge of Truth revealed ."
