| Arhats are 'saints' or sages who have fully realized the Buddhist Doctrine. There is no greed, anger and ignorance in their mind. They have attained freedom from the cycle of suffering and rebirth. In some texts the Buddha is described as being accompanied by 500 Arhats. Here at Buddha Gate we have 18 statues to represent all Arhats. Numerous stories are told about each to inspire people silently. |
