Simhavaktra Dakini Detail

Asian Art Museum / San Francisco, CA

Qing Dynasty.

Simhavaktra Dakini, a goddess of Tibetan Buddhism, clears obstacles from the paths of those
who seek enlightenment. Although not shown here, she is lion-headed with a mane of fire that
represents the flames of wisdom. The lion-head indicates that she is fearless in the over-
coming the obstacles that stand in the way of enlightenment.
