| Abstract | In Buddhist literature can be found descriptions of three types of "fully awakened beings": Omniscient Buddhas, their enlightened disciples or arhants, and a lesser order of Buddhas called, in Pali, Pacceka Buddhas (Skt. Pratyeka). The first two types are well known in studies on Buddhist art, but the last one has not yet adequately received the attention it merits. The Pacceka Buddhas are those whose insight into the "Four Noble Truths" of Buddhism had been gained through self-enlightenment, but who were unable to explain these noble truths to others. They preferred to adopt a solitary, ascetic, and meditative life after their enlightenment. The existence of the Pacceka Buddhas is rooted in a very early stratum of Buddhist literature.' Their role, however, is not central to Buddhism, since they neither proclaim the supreme teachings nor do they encourage monasticism. |
