Meditation on deities such as this their entourages is an intense and arduous progression. However, it is by this journey that one may become identified with the Absolute heavenly power. In this way, the fierce deities are manifestations of that Absolute power in one of its emanations. However, the adepts do not always serve the same exalted end at the end of the journey (ibid).
The dakinis are both consorts of yi-dams, that is, a fully enlightened being that is the focus of and adept's personal meditation during a religious retreat or for life and initiation goddesses that grant super human powers. They represent the goddesses of the seasons, that is the Five Sisters of Long Life as well as the eight personified goddesses of the various ritual offerings. Tibbetan Lamaism has also absorbed many Hindu gods and goddesses which are often shown beneath the Buddhist deities. These include serpent spirits from Indian and Tibetan traditions that can serve as gods and goddesses of wealth as well as the guardians of the cardinal points of direction (ibid).
Research Paper Purpose and Design
This author proposes a paper that will further investigate the manifestations and emanations of the Simihavaktra Dakini as a meditational fetish that a Tibbetan Lama would use on their way to enlightenment. It will explore the tantric path and its collateral use of symbols of violence and peace to achieve a perfect balance. In this way, the author...
A language is complete with a culture, symbols and language and for us to understand that world we must enter into and travel in it extensively (Campbell). To avoid being the traditional ugly American, we need to throw off our constricting Western attitudes and put ourselves into the place of the traditional practitioners of the faith. In this way, we can become truly enlightened and understand our own cultures and religions in the West more fully as we make the attempt to understand someone else's point-of-view. Additionally, this author hopes to use this as a beach head to use on the way to further religious inter-religious studies in their academic career of college. Like the dakini, this author wants to have all of the manifestations and balance of the divine in their life.

Museum Displays of "non-Western" art are qualitatively different from those displaying art that does not come from Europe or North America. Art from places deemed "exotic," or "primitive" tends to be displayed and perceived as anthropological items and indicators of culture. The conceptual arts and "art for art's sake" is frequently denied to non-Western societies. Moreover, the art of places like Oceania is sometimes referred to more as "artifact," versus "art."
Museums as a Medium Museums can be characterized as a place which is basically a store and an exhibit of cultural, historical, scientific or artistic objects which people can often visit to enjoy and take pleasure in.
