	Arhat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In early Indian texts such as the Pali Canon, the stage of arhat is described as the final goal of Buddhist practice -- the attainment of complete and unexcelled Nirvāna.
		In Jainism, the term arhat (or arihant) is a synonym for Jina or Tirthankara.
		The concept of arhat may also be compared with that of bodhisattva.

	LankaLibrary.com: The arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka
		Arhat Mahinda, the profoundly sapient thera, came to Sri Lanka as bidden by his father, the emperor Asoka (264-267 BC) of India, who was earlier known as Chandasoka (Asoka the wicked), but later, when he renounced armed conquests, he came to be known as Dharmasoka (Asoka the pious).
		However, Arhat Mahinda postponed his mission to Sri Lanka until the time was appropriate for him to undertake the mission, as the then king Mutasiva (367-307 BC), was too old and feeble to understand the doctrine of the Buddha.
		When King Devanampiyatissa inquired from Arhat Mahinda, whether the Buddha Sasana had been well established in the island, the reply was that it would happen only when a person of the Sinhalese race studies the vinaya (code of discipline) and expounds it clearly and explicitly.

	arhat -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The state of an arhat is considered in the Theravada tradition to be the proper goal of a Buddhist.
		There are five sins of this kind: killing one's mother, killing one's father, killing an arhat (saint), injuring the body of a buddha, and causing a division in the Buddhist community.
		Though the Theravadin arhat naturally “took refuge in the Buddha,”; his emphasis was not on the grace of the Saviour but on his dhamma.

	Arakan, Rakan, Arhat, Arahant, Lohan -- Therevadan Saint
		Not all agree on the origins of this grouping of 500 Arhats, although in Japanese artwork they appear rather frequently in the 12th and 13th century, especially the 100 kakemono paintings reportedly brought to Japan from China by the Japanese monk Eisai in the 12th century (now located at Daitoku-ji Temple in Kyoto).
		Juuroku Rakan literally means "Sixteen Arhats." The saintly ascetics who gathered at the death and nirvana (nehan 涅槃) of the Buddha Sakyamuni (Shaka 釈迦) and were ordered by him to remain in this world as witnesses to the truth of the Law or Buddhist teachings.
		Paintings of the Sixteen arhats are known to date from the Tang dynasty and were produced frequently in China through the Song period (12c), typically as wall paintings or sets of hanging scrolls.

	SUICIDE AND BUDDHISM
		In saying that Channa was not an arhat until the point of death those who suggest that suicide is wrong for a non-arhat would have to accept that Channa was wrong to commit the act.
		We have arrived at the point where the conclusion that suicide by an arhat is acceptable to Buddhism has become unjustifiable with regards to the teachings of the Buddha as reported in the Pali Canon.
		The prime example of an arhat committing suicide (Channa) turns out to be not the suicide of an arhat, but instead the actions of an unenlightened man who can stand the pain of life no more.

	Arahat Versus Pratyekabuddha
		Although their paths, Pratyeka Buddhas and Arahats (also Arhat, Arahant, Arhant), are of a single type, still their uses of wisdom have their differences.
		This person is not properly referred to as a Buddha or as an Arhat, but is instead referred to as a "lesser" Pratyekabuddha.
		Compared to the Four Types of Arhats, the acuteness of his wisdom is superior with respect to the general characteristics and specific characteristics of profound Dharmas.

	Luohan Quan ( Arhat Boxing ) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Along with its 24 movements in advancing and retreating, the Arhat boxing uses six routines of fist plays, two routines of palm plays, one routine of elbow play, four routines of holding and strangleholding, each of which has its own practical value and health-building effect.
		While practising, Arhat boxers can be as soft as willow twigs, as agile as a smart monkey jumping over a mountain gully, as mighty as a lion, and as powerful as a dragon stirring the sea.
		According to the practice proverbs of the Arhat boxing, the head of the Arhat boxer is like a wave; hands are like meteorites; the body like a willow twig; footwork is like that of a drunkard; blows are triggered by the mind and power is generated throughout the body.

	Buddhism and Suicide - Damien Keown
		Arhats and Buddha's are held up by the tradition as moral paradigms: in all circumstances to imitate a Buddha or an Arhat is to do right.
		We are given a hint as to the second reason why the commentary might be unhappy with the notion of Channa being an Arhat prior to his suicide attempt in the motivation attributed to Mahaa Cunda for providing his homily to Channa.
		If we assume, along with the commentary and secondary literature, that Channa was not an Arhat prior to his suicide attempt, then to extrapolate a rule from this case such that suicide is permissible for Arhats is fallacious.

		The Arhat is said to one who is worthy of worship, the slayer of the enemy (Mara), who has entered Nirvana, and no longer subject to compulsory rebirth due to his eradication of past karma and departure from the generation further karma.
		The Arhat is also rhetorically identified with the highest level of spiritual achievement possible among the Hinayana sects in Mahayana doctrine, a spiritual development often caricatured as being excessively self-involved in that context.
		He was renowned for his exceptional wisdom, and in Mahayana texts is often portrayed as the leader of the Arhats, speaking for the disciples.

		The arhat's paranormal powers, wisdom, meditation, preaching of the dharma, guidance, emitting of light, and such, cannot be on the same level as those discussed by the non-Buddhists and Mara.
		For this reason, it is called "the wondrous mind of nirvana"; it is "not a place to which one escapes." The arhat who enters his or her own nostrils is considered a true arhat; there has never been an arhat who has not gone in and out of his or her own nostrils.
		You should practice and learn the truth that [the stage of] an arhat is called the stage of a buddha; you should practice and learn the truth that the stage of a buddha is called [the stage of] an arhat.Å@Apart from arhatship there is not even the slightest scintilla of an extra dharma.

		From the point of view of early Buddhism, suicide is a normal matter in the case of the Noble Ones who, having completed their work, sever their last link with the world and voluntarily pass into Nirvāṇa, thus definitively escaping from the world of rebirths (1965:106f).
		We are given a hint as to the second reason why the commentary might be unhappy with the notion of Channa being an Arhat prior to his suicide attempt in the motivation attributed to Mahā Cunda for providing his homily to Channa.
		The suggestion is made by the commentary that Mahā Cunda gave this particular teaching because he saw that Channa was "unable to tolerate the intense pain" and was seeking death in order to escape from it.
