| − | [[Arhats]] designated by [[Shakyamuni Buddha]] to {{Wiki|protect}} his teachings for the {{Wiki|benefit}} of the [[people]] after his [[death]]. According to [[Hsüan-tsang's]] {{Wiki|Chinese}} translation of The [[Record of Ensuring the Abiding of the Law]], they continued to [[live]] after [[Shakyamuni's]] entry into [[nirvana]] in [[order]] to fulfill this [[mission]]. They are [[Pindolabharadvaja]], [[Kanakavatsa]], [[Kanakabharadvaja]], [[Subinda]], [[Nakula]], [[Bhadra]], [[Kalika]], [[Vajraputra]], [[Jivaka]], [[Panthaka]], [[Rahula]], [[Nagasena]], [[Angaja]], [[Vanavasin]], [[Ajita]], and [[Chudapanthaka]]. In [[China]] and [[Japan]], the [[sixteen arhats]] were often depicted artistically and these images enshrined in [[temples]], in particular of the [[Zen school]].
