| | LankaLibrary.com: The arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka |
 | | 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. | | | 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). | | | When Arhat Mahinda came to Sri Lanka, he brought with him the Theravada canon or orthodox Buddhism, preserved in memory by oral tradition, and finally redacted at the Third Buddhist Council held at Pataliputra (now Patna), under the leadership of the Maha Thera Moggaliputta Tissa. |

| | A Glossary of Buddhist Terms |
| | 'Arhat' is one the epithets of a Buddha. | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | arhat -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
| | The state of an arhat is considered in the Theravada tradition to be the proper goal of a Buddhist. | | | Though the Theravadin arhat naturally “took refuge in the Buddha,&; his emphasis was not on the grace of the Saviour but on his dhamma. | | | 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. |

| | Article about "Arhat" in the English Wikipedia on 24-Apr-2004 |
| | An arhat (also arahat or arahant; Chinese: &;, aluohan; Tibetan: dgra-bcom-pa) is a highly realized Buddhist practitoner. | | | In early Indian texts, the stage of arhat is described as the final goal of Buddhist practice - the attainment of complete and unexcelled nirv&. | | | This is seen to disparage practitioners of the two vehicles as adherents of the "lesser vehicle", implying that they are engaged in practices that are self-centered and incomplete in the wisdom of emptiness. |

| | The term arhat is, strictly speaking, a synonym for Buddha and it is listed in some texts as one of the ten epithets of a Buddha. | | | However, in English, the term arhat is conventionally used to refer only to a Sravaka-Buddha, one of the three types of Buddha, whereas the term Buddha is most commonly used to refer only to Supreme Buddhas such as Siddhartha Gautama. | | | In early Indian texts, the stage of arhat is described as the final goal of Buddhist practice -- the attainment of complete and unexcelled nirv&. |

| | Arahat Versus Pratyekabuddha |
| | This person is not properly referred to as a Buddha or as an Arhat, but is instead referred to as a "lesser" 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. | | | In a case where the Buddhas have already come forth [into the world] and the Buddhadharma has then already become extinct, this person, on account of the causes and conditions of previous lifetimes, brings forth wisdom on his own and does not do so based on hearing it from anyone else. |

| | 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 know that Channa died an Arhat by inference from the Buddha's closing statement, although there is no corroborating evidence that Channa was an Arhat and no indication of when he became one. | | | This rejection of subjectivism calls into question the consensus that Buddhism condones Arhat suicide and suggests that the grounds for this claim need to be reassessed. |

| | 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. | | | Shakyamuni Buddha said, "If my disciples call themselves arhats or pratyekabuddhas but have not heard and do not understand that all buddha-tathagatas teach and nurture only bodhisattvas, then they are not disciples of the Buddha, not arhats, not pratyekabuddhas. | | | 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. |

| | SUICIDE AND BUDDHISM |
| | 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. | | | This may be true as his greater insight into nature could allow him such a course of action, but I suspect that no Buddhist would claim that this is the case. | | | When death comes, it comes and can only be met with indifference otherwise the arhat has revealed himself to be less than enlightened. |
