13, 18 luohan qigong

Postby vvanesse59 » Tue Feb 24, 2009 2:58 pm

I have googled myself to no end on trying to find out what "luohan" means. The 13 and 18 I can gather but the luohan evades me. Anybody?

Hi,
Luohan is the chinese name/translation for an Arhat, the fourth, and highest level of attainment of the Hinayana (small vehicle) Buddhism. Sometimes refered to as saints.
