'''Hva Shang''' (Tib. Hashang) - attendant of the [[Sixteen Arhats]]

Hva Shang, meaning ‘a Chinese monk’, was sent by Emperor T’ai-tsung of China with an elegently worded letter to invite the [[Sixteen Arhats]] to China. He accompanied them as they travelled to China where they observed the three Months’ Rains Retreat and taught extensively from the [[three pitakas]], the three collections or 'baskets' into which the [[Word of the Buddha]] is divided. They are [[Vinaya]], [[Sutra]] and [[Abhidharma]].
