16 Arhats Paani Buddha Water Crossing Thangka: In Buddhism, an arahant or arhat is one who has gained insight into the true nature of existence and has achieved Nibbana and liberated from the endless cycle of rebirth. Mahayana Buddhist traditions have used the term for people far advanced along the path of Enlightenment, but who may not have reached full Buddhahood. The understanding of the concept has changed over the centuries, and varies between different schools of Buddhism and different regions. A range of views on the attainment of arhats existed in the early Buddhist schools. Mahayana Buddhist teachings urge followers to take up the path of a bodhisattva, and to not fall back to the level of arhats and śrāvakas. The arhats, or at least the senior arhats, came to be widely regarded by Theravada buddhists as “moving beyond the state of personal freedom to join the Bodhisattva enterprise in their own way”. Mahayana Buddhism regarded a group of Eighteen Arhats (with names and personalities) as awaiting the return of the Buddha as Maitreya, while other groupings of 6, 8, 16, 100, and 500 also appear in tradition and Buddhist art, especially in East Asia called luohan or lohan. This thangka is the pictorial objective of one’s own striving, symbol of a divine whole, facilitating awareness of the divine within oneself and, ultimately, realization of the deity from within one’s own self(Helmut Uhlig, Tantrische Kunst des Buddhismus, Ullstein 1981) Lord Buddha is floating above water on in a chasm of energy or viswapadmasana surrounded by 16 Arhats and 10 Bodhisattvas.
