"The sages of all the ages, the Buddhas, the bodhisattvas, the arhat, Zhuangzi, Laozi, physicians, those who created the laws of the gods, all scholars, ascetic practitioners, priests and monks - they are all the idle and gluttonous, the dregs of society who steal the Way.
"Down-with-the-Cities"
Nakashima, Tadashi
The "saint" of Hinayana Buddhism is the arhat who is intent on saving himself.
"Buddhism and Buddhists in China"
Lewis Hodus
The life of an arhat which includes the strictest morality is commended on its own account as the best and happiest existence.
"Hinduism and Buddhism, Vol I. (of 3) An Historical Sketch"
