Arhat

Arhat is a term used by the Kuei-jin to describe one among their ranks who has completely mastered his Dharma.

Overview

An Arhat is a Kuei-jin who has transcended his Dharma and reached the Hundred Clouds, freeing himself from the curse of unlife. Most had been hundreds of years old before they managed to transcend.

The most famous and well-remembered Arhat is Xue, who laid down the Fivefold Way and the Great Principle as guidelines for the descendants of the fallen Wan Xian to reach Enligtenment.
