The Arhat Who Bares His Heart (開心羅漢)
Here is a story about one of the 18 arhats (阿羅漢) in the Buddhist temple.
Shubo Jia (戌博迦) was a crown prince. He did not really want to become the 1 of his small state. Instead, he wanted to leave the world of red dust and follow the Buddha and find enlightenment. But he 2 he had responsibilities to his kingdom.
His younger brother, however, wanted very much to become king, and was 3 to mount (發(fā)動(dòng)) an armed rebellion against Shubo Jia in order to claim the throne.
And so, to calm his brother and to prevent a war, and above all to pursue the path he had decided he must follow to find enlightenment, he called his 4 to him, and explained that there was no desire in his heart 5 the land. All that was in his 6 was the Buddha nature.
His brother did not believe any of this, for, in his mind, whatever the Buddha nature might be, it could not 7 with the joy of running a kingdom, even a small kingdom and having everyone obey one’s every command. And so his brother suspected that Shubo Jia was 8 trying to fool him with some unworthy ruse.
SHubo Jia protested that he was completely 9. And with that, he pulled 10 his gown, and the face of a Buddha was seen peering out from the middle of his chest, for indeed in his heart there was only the Buddha nature.
So that is how he is represented in art today. And it is why he is called “The Arhat Who Bares His Heart.”
