The Venerable Subduing Tiger, also known as the Tiger-Subduing Arhat, is one of the eighteen arhats in Chinese Buddhism, ranked eighteenth, and was bestowed the title of Venerable Maitreya by Emperor Qianlong. Legend has it that in ancient times, fierce tigers in the mountains were violent and disturbed living beings. The Venerable One, with compassion in his heart, often fed the fierce tigers with vegetarian food. Over time, he tamed the fierce tigers with his virtue. From then on, the tigers became docile and tame, often staying by his side to listen to scriptures and guard the Dharma, hence earning the name Subduing Tiger. His likeness is often depicted as a serene renunciant monk, with a fierce tiger crouching beside him, wearing a kasaya, and possessing a composed demeanor. The Venerable One symbolizes resolving violence with compassion and subduing the inner demons of greed, anger, and ignorance, signifying the elimination of disasters and warding off evil, maintaining one's true self, and blessing with peace and safety. He is a classic holy image revered in temples and widely honored by the populace
