Arhant

An Arhant, in Buddhist tradition, is a person who has achieved a high level of spiritual development by fully awakening to the true nature of reality, freeing themselves from all mental defilements and the cycle of suffering (karmic rebirth). Often called an "worthy one" or "enlightened being," an Arhant has attained Nirvana through diligent practice and insight. They serve as moral exemplars and teachers, helping others progress on their spiritual path. The term emphasizes personal liberation and deep understanding, marking a significant milestone in Buddhist spiritual achievement.
