They are part of the esoteric or tantric Refuges of Guru, Yidam, and Dakini, The Vajrayana forms of the Three Jewels of Buddhism, The Buddha, Dharma, And Sangha. Dakinis may be archetypal or living beings. Such thangkas are used in Buddhist meditation and devotional practice to cultivate the enlightened qualities they embody.
