The worshiper (Maha) Moggallana, the arhat is one of the main disciples of Buddha, with whom he is sometimes confused: Although he presents certain laksanas (three folds in the neck, elongated lobes, etc.), he does not have an ushnisha.
The arhat is a figure of primary importance in Theravada Buddhism but he attains enlightenment through a teaching while a Buddha attains it by himself. Even if Moggallana is widely evoked in Mahayana Buddhism, the ideal of the arhat is abandoned in favor of that of the bodhisattva, a more altruistic concept.
