[The Eighteen Arhat - Pindola Bharadvaja] Also known as Pindolabharadrāja (Sanskrit), 賓度羅跋羅墮闍尊者 (Chinese). According to the earliest Indian Buddhist sutras, Pindola Bharadvaja was one of four Arhats asked by the Buddha to remain in the world to propagate the Dharma (Buddhism practices). Pindola is said to have excelled in the mastery of occult and psychic powers. He was once remonstrated by the Buddha for misusing his powers to impress a group of simple, ignorant people. Pindola does not only greatly influence the Chinese Buddhism, but also those of Japan and Tibet too. #arhat #pindola #pindolabharadvaja #buddhist #buddhism #china #chinatradition #chinabuddha #chinabuddhism #japan #japanbuddha #japanbuddhism #tibet #tibetanbuddha #tibetanbuddhism #nobleeightfoldpath #enlightenment #tangdynasty https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOPaN5FS_C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r6pgnv747w9n
