The 500 Arhats
Located on the slope directly facing the Great Reclining Buddha, these 500 stone statues represent the enlightened disciples of Buddha. Each statue is uniquely carved with its own distinct facial expression and personality—ranging from joyful laughter to deep meditation. This diverse gathering symbolizes that enlightenment is accessible to all, creating a powerful and contemplative atmosphere in the heart of the temple's most sacred plaza.
