About Luohans (lohans)..Luohans are Buddhist figures, in sanskrit known as Arhat or “destroyer of enemy” (desires) or deserving or worthy” .
A luohan supposedly has passed through all the stages of enlightenment, the eightfold path, and has conquered all the desires that enmesh a person in continous cycle of birth and death and will no longer be reborn. They are regarded as saints reaching nirvana and are attributed with supernatural powers. Ananda is considerd one of the principal disciples of the Buddha. He was a first cousin of the Buddha and was deeply attached to him. His counterpart, Kassapa, when hearing of Ãnanda’s attainment of arahantship, led the applause. Ãnanda held him in the highest veneration………
The Song (Sung) Dynasty helped to reunify china after the fall of T’ang and develop Lohans role. Song is noted for revival of ancient Confucian beliefs. The enlighteneed rulers urged construction of Buddhist temples with rows of eighteeen or sixteen lohans…a different due to Buddhist texts. Lohan , derived from sanskrit Arhan, is a disciple of Buddha who is enlightened. Lohans became popular since T’ang and by the time of Song dynasty , artists depicted each Lohan with different facial features. Origin: Cheng Du, Sichuan Province.
